Abstract: In one embodiment, a design methodology is described in which a functional description of each macro may be synthesized along with the other logic in a block. The resulting circuitry, including synthesized circuitry corresponding to each macro, may be placed within an area designated for the integrated circuit. The result may be analyzed, determining a location for the macro based on the location of the corresponding synthesized circuitry. For example, the geometric center of the synthesized circuitry may be located, and the geometric center of the custom circuitry associated with the macro may be placed at the same point as the geometric center of the synthesized circuitry. Because the macros are not placed in advance, the location of the macro may be controlled by other factors such as timing, space, wiring congestion, etc.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a design methodology and tools to implement the methodology are used to perform scan insertion in an integrated circuit design. The physical location of the scan chains within the boundaries of the integrated circuit may be determined, and the methodology may use the physical information to perform the scan insertion. For example, the physical information may include the location of the inputs and outputs of the scan chains, as well as routability data indicating the ability to insert interconnect in the integrated circuit to make the desired scan connections. The location and routability information may be used to group scan chain inputs and outputs for, e.g., compression/decompression logic. Using physical data to insert scan compression/decompression logic may reduce the amount of area occupied by the scan logic and connectivity, in some embodiments.

Abstract: Systems and methods of evaluating and/or assessing the health of a relationship are provided. In some examples, the systems and methods may include identifying a first party and a second party in a relationship. The systems and methods may further include determining a plurality of parameters for evaluation. In some examples, a first portion of the parameters may be evaluated based on what the second party thinks of the first party from a business engagement perspective. Another portion of the parameters may be evaluated based on how well prepared the first party is to meet the business needs of the second party. The scores may be combined to determine an overall health of the relationship and, in some examples, the results may be represented graphically and/or using color to indicate the health of the relationship.
