Abstract:
Design compilation software uses statistical analysis techniques to account for variations in device attributes. A compilation phase determines statistical attributes of edges and other elements of device, such as the mean and variance values of attributes. A compilation phase evaluates the suitability of a potential configuration of the device using a cost function. The cost function can be based on one or more independent criteria of the design, such wiring or routing costs, timing costs, and power consumption costs. The compilation phase can include clustering, placement, and routing of the design. One or more of the cost function criteria can include statistical attributes of the device. The compilation software can use statistical attributes of the device to predict device yields for a design. The compilation software can also predict device yields of a design using devices of different speed bin classifications.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method, apparatus and system for accessing remote files, wherein the method for accessing remote files comprising the following steps: obtaining download operation information for downloading a file in an operational system server; redirecting the download operation to a file server with safety space; saving a real copy of the downloaded file in the safety space and enumerating a corresponding virtual copy in the safety space. In the present invention, local file operations are redirected to the network file operations of network file storage system by redirecting the download operation on the file in the operational system server to the file server instead of being saved in the local user terminal to realize the “Not to local” effect for the key file. Even when it is power-off and then restarted, the data will not be saved in the local user terminal to achieve an effect close to “physical-like isolation”, which solves the safety problems of the offline key file much better.
Abstract:
A method of automatically reducing stacked vias while minimizing voltage drop in a power network of an integrated circuit (IC) is provided. In this method, any feasible (i.e. other than connectivity-necessary and uncongested stacked vias) stacked vias of the power network can be virtually removed. If a target voltage drop of the power network is exceeded, then a measurement of the severity of at least a maximum voltage drop on the IC can be updated. After this updating, a set of voltage drop improvement stacked vias can be virtually returned to the power network. The steps of determining whether the target voltage drop is exceeded, updating the severity of the voltage drop at one or more hot spots, and virtually returning the set of additional stacked vias can be repeated until the target voltage drop is not exceeded.
Abstract:
A tool that a user may employ to assemble the components of a circuit in a floor plan design. The tool provides a user interface that displays the placement of blocks in a floor plan design, and the routing of wires among the blocks. When the designer moves the placement of a target block, the user interface automatically moves any adjacent blocks that would impede the movement of the target block and any block that would impede a block moved in response to the movement of the target block. The user interface may also respond to movement of a target block by showing how various features of the circuit will change as a result of the move. Thus, the user interface may show that moving one block closer to another block will create undesired wiring congestion in the circuit. The user interface also may show when moving a block will result in wiring connections that are too long to maintain a desired voltage level. The tool may also automatically move the placement of related blocks as a group, so that various attributes, such as a minimum distance between adjacent blocks, are maintained.
Abstract:
An underwater towing device, including an underwater towing assembly and a fixing mechanism of the underwater towing assembly. The underwater towing assembly includes a first floating body, a second floating body, and a third floating body. The fixing mechanism includes a fairlead carrier and two supports disposed on two sides of the fairlead carrier. The first floating body, the second floating body, and the third floating body are connected together via a fixing frame. The first floating body, the second floating body, and the third floating body have streamlined and bilaterally symmetrical shapes and all are hollow to accommodate experimental equipment. The first floating body is a cylinder having a drop-shaped horizontal cross-section. The upper part of the first floating body is provided with a buoyancy reserve tank having an elliptic horizontal cross-section.

Abstract:
An editing tool that provides a user interface for displaying and editing a representation of a microcircuit design. More particularly, the user interface displays a three dimensional representation of a second portion of the circuit design. A user can then select and edit a structure employing the three-dimensional representation of the structure in the user interface.
