  • Patent number: 8661329
    Abstract: A system evaluates a hierarchical name set such as names produced by hardware descriptor language (HDL) synthesis and generates shorter, unambiguous names for each of the hierarchical names in the name set. A directed graph and/or a tree is generated using a hierarchical name set. Each name is evaluated using the directed graph and/or tree to identify hierarchical components or tokens of the name required in the short name. Name length can be reduced even in a system having large numbers of common hierarchies.

  • Patent number: 8407645
    Abstract: A graphical block-based design exploration tool displays multiple views of a chip design. These views may include a logical view, physical view, hierarchy view, and a timing display view, displayed side-by-side or sequentially with or without animation. Various entities and their relationships to each other are displayed in these different view arrangements to allow a user to quickly grasp the entire design and to perform design techniques such as partitioning and floor planning. The display properties are user configurable to organize the information based on user preferences.
