Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for implementing electronic design closure with reduction techniques. A timing graph and compact timing data for an analysis view of a set of analysis views may be determined for an electronic design. A reduced set of dominant analysis views may be determined based at least in part upon a result of a timing dominance analysis. Timing data may be loaded for at least the reduced set of dominant analysis views; and a design closure task may be performed on the electronic design using at least the timing data and the reduced set of dominance analysis views.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for implementing an electronic design with high-capacity design closure. A reduced netlist may be generated for an analysis view of an electronic design based at least in part upon logic of interest in the analysis view. A closure may be performed based at least in part upon a union netlist, wherein the union netlist is generated from the reduced netlist. The electronic design may then be implemented based at least in part upon a result of the closure task.
Abstract:
A system and method for expeditious operational timing signoff of a circuit design through a timing analysis and subsequent corrective or remedial optimization is performed with the goal of correlating timing between the physical implementation corrective optimizer module and the timing analysis module to reduce iterations therebetween. A physical optimizer in the correction module is imparted with knowledge of the physical implementation of the design to allow for legal, non-conflicting placement of corrective buffers or resizing of gates in accordance with the physical implementation data of the circuit design.
