Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for discretizing gate sizes during numerical synthesis. Some embodiments can receive an optimal input capacitance value for an input of an optimizable cell, wherein the input capacitance value is determined by a numerical solver that is optimizing the circuit design. Note that the circuit design may be optimized for different objective functions, e.g., best delay, minimal area under delay constraints, etc. Next, the embodiments can identify an initial library cell in a technology library whose input capacitance value is closest to the optimal input capacitance value. The embodiments can then use the initial library cell to attempt to identify a better (in terms of the objective function that is being optimized) library cell in the technology library. The delay computations used during this process are also minimized.

Some embodiments can create a constraints problem based on a gate-sizing optimization problem for a portion of a circuit design. Specifically, the constraints problem can comprise a set of upper bound constraints that impose an upper bound on one or more variables that are used in the objective function of the gate-sizing optimization problem. Next, the embodiments can solve the gate-sizing optimization problem by repeatedly solving the constraints problem using a constraints solver. Specifically, prior to each invocation of the constraints solver, the upper bound can be increased or decreased based at least on a result returned by a previous invocation of the constraints solver.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for performing area recovery on a circuit design. Some embodiments can select a gate for area recovery in accordance with a reverse-levelized processing order, wherein an output pin of a driver gate is electrically coupled to an input pin of the gate. Next, the embodiment can determine a maximum delay value from an input pin of the driver gate to an output pin of the gate that does not create new timing requirement violations or worsen existing timing requirement violations at any of the timing endpoints of the circuit design. The embodiment can then downsize the gate based on the maximum delay value, wherein said downsizing comprises inputting the maximum delay value in a closed-form expression. Timing margin computation can be used to ensure that timing violations are not worsened when the embodiment recovers area from non-timing-critical regions of the circuit design.

Next, a set of upper bound constraints can be added to the set of constraints, wherein the set of upper bound constraints imposes an upper bound on one or more variables that are used in an objective function of the optimization problem. Next, the embodiments can iteratively perform the following set of operations on a computer: (a) solve the set of constraints using the constraints solver; (b) responsive to the constraints solver returning a solution, decrease the upper bound; and (c) responsive to the constraints solver indicating that no solutions exist or that the constraints solver timed out, increase the upper bound. The solution with the lowest upper bound value can be outputted as the optimal solution for the optimization problem.

Abstract: Information about the operating system application programming interfaces is stored in a known format in a known location. This information fully describes the APIs exposed by the operating system and is stored in API metadata files. A language compiler or interpreter uses this API information to build a natural and familiar representation of the native system API in the target language. The language compiler or interpreter can read the API information at compile time and/or runtime. The metadata is used to allow an application to refer to named elements in the API. Projections are built that use the metadata to map named elements in the API to named elements in the target language, and to define wrappers that marshal data of those elements between the target representation and the native operating system representation.
