摘要： A method of designing an integrated circuit including executing a placement algorithm to place a set of objects within the integrated circuit. The set of objects includes latched objects and non-latched objects. The algorithm places objects to minimize clock signal delay subject to a constraint on the placement distribution of the latched objects relative to the placement distribution of the non-latched objects. The latched object and non-latched object placement constraints may limit the difference between the latched object center of mass and a non-latched object center of mass. The latched object center of mass equals a sum of size-location products for each latched object divided by the sum of sizes for each latched object. The constraints may require that the latched object center of mass and the non-latched center of mass both equal the center of mass for all objects.

摘要： A method of assessing the stability of a placement tool used in designing the physical layout of an integrated circuit chip, by constructing different layouts of cells using the placement tool with different sets of input parameters, and calculating a stability value based on the movement of respective cell locations between the layouts. The stability value can be normalized based on cell locations in a random placement. One stability metric measures absolute movement of individual cells in the layouts, weighted by cell area. The cell movements can be squared in calculating the stability value. Another stability metric measures the relative movement of cells with respect to their nets. Shifting of cells and symmetric reversal of cells about a net center does not contribute to this relative movement, but spreading of cells and rotation of cells with respect to the net center does contribute to the relative movement. Relative cell movements can again be squared in calculating the stability value. Many different layouts can be designed using the same placement tool with a range of different input parameters and different movement metrics to build a collection of comparative values that can be used to identify stability characteristics for that tool.

摘要： A placement technique for designing a layout of an integrated circuit by calculating clustering scores for different pairs of objects in the layout based on connections of two objects in a given pair and the sizes of the two objects, then grouping at least one of the pairs of objects into a cluster based on the clustering scores, partitioning the objects as clustered and ungrouping the cluster after partitioning. The pair of objects having the highest clustering score are grouped into the cluster, and the clustering score is directly proportional to the total weight of connections between the two objects in the respective pair. The clustering scores are preferably inserted in a binary heap to identify the highest clustering score. After grouping, the clustering score for any neighboring object of a clustered object is marked to indicate that the clustering score is invalid and must be recalculated. The calculating and grouping are then repeated iteratively based on the previous clustered layout. Cluster growth can be controlled indirectly, or controlled directly by imposing an upper bound on cluster size.

摘要： A method, system, and computer program product for allocating buffer and wire placement in an integrated circuit design is provided. In one embodiment, the surface of a integrated circuit design is represented as a tile graph. Allocation of buffer locations for selected tiles in the tile graph is then received and nets are routed between associated sources and sinks. Buffer locations within selected tiles are then selectively assigned based upon buffer needs of the nets, wherein the nets are routed through selected tiles and assigned buffer locations using a cost minimization algorithm.

摘要： This invention reduces pessimism in cross talk analysis of digital circuits by combining only the peak noises from aggressor nets that can switch simultaneously during the time interval when the downstream receiving latch can sample the errant data. This is done by, first, determining aggressor switching windows and victim sensitivity windows. These windows are then used to determine which combination of noise sources can temporally align so as to cause the greatest noise within the victim sensitivity window.

摘要： A method and system for characterizing interconnect data within an integrated circuit in order to facilitate parasitic capacitance estimation is disclosed. An integrated circuit typically includes a substrate layer and several metal layers. In accordance with the method and system of the present invention, an overlapping area of interconnect wires is first identified within the integrated circuit. This overlapping area, which is a polygon, may be formed between the substrate layer and at least one interconnect wire in one of the several metal layers. The overlapping area may also be formed between two interconnect wires, each in a different one of the several metal layers. A netname for the overlapping area is then recorded. Finally, a netname of an interconnect wire in a metal layer that is at the same level of an interconnect wire within the overlapping area and an associated distance from each side of the overlapping area is recorded, for every interconnect wire within the overlapping area. By utilizing these recorded information, the parasitic capacitance of the integrated circuit can be estimated more efficiently.
