A method, system, and computer program product for coupled noise timing violation avoidance in detailed routing of an integrated circuit design are provided. The method includes calculating a noise induced timing violation sensitivity (NITVS) metric for nets in the integrated circuit design as a measure of sensitivity to a timing violation relative to a coupled noise delay adder, prioritizing routing isolation as a function of the NITVS metric for each of the nets to avoid coupled noise timing violations, and outputting the routing isolation priority.

An integrated circuit chip is made using Genie, a described computer chip design tool which can analyze the data contained within an entire endpoint report, compute relationships between paths based on shared segments, and display this information graphically to the designer. Specifically, Genie groups failing paths into Timing Islands. A timing island is a group of paths which contain at least one shared segment. The most frequently shared segment is sifted to the top of the priority list for each island, and is labeled as the Hub. Thinking of timing islands as a tree, the hub of the island would be the trunk. If you chop the tree down by the trunk, all of the branches, limbs and twigs will fall down too. This is analogous to fixing the timing failures in the hub, and the fix trickling out to each of the segments that dangle off the hub.

Using a computer and storage, a circuit design process is executed to preserve overall design quality while obtaining quality placements for a full class of pipeline structure signatures. These signatures include classic latch to latch pipelines, as well as a variety of latch to latch and mixed logic pipelines. The process employs a method for optimizing pipeline structure placement in a circuit design, by initiating an analysis of pipeline logic structures for correcting poor quality of result (QOR) placements by identifying poor placements caused by placement algorithmic response to degenerate cases and in the process of analysis preserving high quality placements of global placement and timing to preserve preponderant non-degenerate cases in said circuit design. Then employing a plurality of global placement steps, wherein each subsequent placement's quality of result (QOR) is dependent upon the prior placement's quality of result (QOR), circuits are identified as being involved in a class of degenerate cases, and circuits having poor placements are removed by unplacing them from the global placement solution and also other non-degenerate poor quality placements are corrected.
