Publication number: 20240330298Abstract: Described herein are techniques for deploying a plurality of data processing pipelines to execute contact grouping queries to upload contact data into contact records of contact group tables in a cloud-based, virtual data warehouse. Each contact grouping query is assigned to a data pipeline of a plurality of data pipelines based on characteristics of the contact grouping query and the count of contact records associated with the entity on whose behalf the contact records are being maintained. Additionally, the execution runtime is obtained for each contact grouping query so that an average execution runtime for the contact grouping query can be cached. An expected execution runtime of all contact grouping queries allocated to a specific data pipeline can then be calculated and used in determining whether additional data pipelines may be necessary to meet a service level objective that indicates a time interval during which a contact grouping query is to be executed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2023Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventors: Anand Jha, Fan Lu, Anurag Sethi

Patent number: 11144690Abstract: Techniques and systems for implementing a general extensible layer mapping approach that maps between integrated circuit (IC) design database layers and process layers are described. A first IC design layout having in-design layers can be converted into a second IC design layout having derived layers, wherein said converting comprises mapping the in-design layers to the derived layers by applying a set of layer derivation rules to shapes in the IC design layout, and wherein the set of layer derivation rules implements a one-to-many mapping between the in-design layers and the derived layers. Next, a one-to-one mapping between the derived layers and process layers used in a parasitic extraction tool can be generated. Parasitic extraction on the IC design layout then be performed by providing the second IC design layout and the one-to-one mapping to the parasitic extraction tool.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2019Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Synopsys, Inc.Inventors: Jun Wang, Yun-Jui Li, Bin Xu, Cheng-Ming Wu, Yu Fan Lu, Hu Cai, Yuting Fu, Hwei-Tseng Wang, Sui Zheng, Jeong-Tyng Li
