Abstract: A method, system and computer program product perform timing analysis of an integrated circuit design with callback-based constraint processing for clock domain independence. A timing graph representation of the integrated circuit design includes nodes interconnected by edges. Loading timing abstracts representing the nodes of the timing graph precedes obtaining a timing result based on propagating timing values and associated timing tags from an input to an output of the integrated circuit design and processing timing constraints at one or more of the nodes as callbacks. Each timing tag indicates a clock domain. After applying a design change, one or more modified timing tags that are added or changed as a result of the design change are determined. The timing constraints associated with the modified timing tags are processed as callbacks, and the timing result are re-computed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is method and system for dynamically providing personalized channel package for multimedia services to user. The method comprises retrieving a default channel map from a data source associated with service provider of the multimedia services. Then the method obtains a user viewing pattern and various channel recommendation factors related to user and the channels. Thereafter, a personalized context data of the user is generated by correlating the viewing pattern and the channel recommendation factors. Finally, the method generates and provides the personalized channel package to the user based on the personalized context data and the default channel map, thereby providing flexibility to the user for dynamically selecting, subscribing and managing the channels. Further, the method also determines an optimal cost for the personalized channel package and allows the user to perform real-time modifications to the channel package for further reducing the cost of the channel package.
