Abstract: A dynamic memory management method for layout verification tools that maximizes main memory usage and minimizes required disk storage capacity. Layout data generated during each given geometric operation is retained in main memory at the end of the given geometric operation. At the beginning of each new (current) geometric operation, an estimated amount of main memory required to perform the current geometric operation at peak processing speed is determined. When insufficient available main memory is available, a Central Balancer Module determines whether previously generated layout data can be moved from main memory to disk storage. Layout data file(s) are then selected based on minimizing the amount of transferred layout data needed to provide the required estimated amount. A Distributed File Manager then transfers the selected layout data file(s) from main memory to disk storage, thereby facilitating execution of the current geometric operation at peak operating speed.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatus, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided for facilitating content reconstruction of merged and removed cells in an integrated circuit layout verification process. An example method comprises identifying one or more particular cells comprising original cell content requested by cell-specific operations, determining a set of cells of interest, the set of cells of interest comprised of the one or more particular cells identified as comprising original cell content requested by cell-specific operations, preserving original cell information from the set of cells of interest, and subsequently, performing a cell optimization phase, wherein the subsequent cell optimization phase comprises producing a set of geometric locations from a merger of the set of cells of interest into a set of merged cells, each geometric location being a physical location in a circuit layout represented by a node id or coordinates and processing a final set of cells.

Abstract: A method for pre-configuring conditions of data transfer at a base station for user equipment includes receiving a data transfer request from user equipment. The data transfer request includes conditions. The base station compares the conditions with current base station performance conditions. If the comparison is favorable, the base station sends an accept message to the user equipment.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for scheduling of service data intended to be sent from a user terminal (UE1) over radio interfaces to a base station (BS1) by means of at least one control message sent from the base station (BS1) to the user terminal (UE1), whereby said at least one control message at least indicates or allows for a determination of a change of predefined transmission time intervals (TTI) in which the user terminal (UE1) shall send transport blocks comprising service data to the base station (BS1), a base station (BS1), a user terminal (UE1) and a communication network therefor.
