    摘要: Embodiments of a multi-port memory device may include a plurality of ports and a plurality of memory banks some of which are native to each port and some of which are non-native to each port. The memory device may include a configuration register that stores configuration data indicative of the mapping of the memory banks to the ports. In response to the configuration data, for example, a steering logic may couple each of the ports either to one or all of the native memory banks or to one or all of the non-native memory banks.

    摘要: Some embodiments provide a system that facilitates the creation of a design in an electronic design automation (EDA) application. During operation, the system determines a processing order for processing a set of cells in the design. In some embodiments, the processing order can be a reverse-levelized processing order. Next, the system may select a cell for performing area recovery according to the processing order. The system may then tentatively perform an area-recovery operation on the selected cell. Next, the system may determine a zone around the selected cell. Next, the system may propagate arrival times within the zone to obtain updated slack values at endpoints of the zone. The system may compute one or more timing metrics at the endpoints. If the updated slack values do not degrade the timing metric(s) at the endpoints, the system may accept the area-recovery operation of the selected cell.

    摘要: Some embodiments provide techniques and systems for improving the efficiency of area recovery in an electronic design automation (EDA) flow. During operation, the system determines a utilization of a region from a set of regions in a design floorplan. Next, the system performs area recovery (e.g., by using a processor) on the region based at least on the utilization. Specifically, the system can overlay the design floorplan with a grid, wherein the grid comprises a set of grid cells and uses the grid cells as the set of regions. The grid can be associated with a predetermined number of rows and a predetermined number of columns. The system can determine the utilization of the region by calculating the utilization as a cell area of the region divided by a placement area of the region. The utilization can be incrementally calculated during the creation and optimization of the design.

    摘要: Some embodiments of the present invention provide techniques and systems for efficiently optimizing a circuit design for one or more multi-mode multi-corner (MCMM) scenarios. A system can select an optimizing transformation for a logic gate, which if applied to the logic gate, does not degrade a timing metric in a local context of the logic gate. Next, the system can determine whether applying the optimizing transformation to the logic gate degrades the timing metric in a zone around the logic gate. If so, the system can reject the optimizing transformation. Otherwise, the system can determine whether applying the optimizing transformation to the logic gate degrades the timing metric in the circuit design. If so, the system can reject the optimizing transformation. Otherwise, the system can accept the optimizing transformation.
