RECOMMENDING CHANGES IN THE DESIGN OF AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT USING A RULES-BASED ANALYSIS OF FAILURES
Publication number: 20240119205Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for recommending design changes in designing a digital integrated circuit. An analysis of the digital integrated circuit being designed is performed, where the result of such an analysis involves violations being identified and stored. A stored violation, such as a cross-domain, cross-hierarchy and multi-cycle violation, may then be analyzed to identify a root cause of the violation using a rule. Such a rule may be used for triaging various failures in the cross-domain, cross-hierarchy and/or multi-cycle violation of the digital integrated circuit. A design change in the design of the digital integrated circuit may then be recommended based on the identified root cause of the violation. In this manner, the root cause of failures are effectively identified in the design of digital integrated circuits using an offline analysis of cross-domain, cross-hierarchy and/or multi-cycle violations using a rules-based approach.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: SheshaShayee K Raghunathan, Charles Gates, Kerim Kalafala, Steven Joseph Kurtz, Morgan D.
