Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer-aided design system comprises a functional regularity extraction component, a structural regularity extraction component and a floorplanning component. The structural regularity extraction component provides a method to extract regularity for circuits (and in particular datapath circuits) based on the structural characteristics of a logic design. Some embodiments of the structural regularity extraction component automatically generate a set of vectors for the logic design. A vector is a group of template instances that are identical in function and in structure. The vectors generated by the structural regularity extraction component are used by a floorplanning component. The floorplanning component provides a method of generating a circuit layout from the set of vectors. In some embodiments, each vectors corresponds to a row in the circuit layout.

Abstract: A model and system employing the model provides an organized structure for storing, displaying, and navigating content data regarding instruments for market driven industries (i.e., securities). A Market Research Model (MRM) paradigm is used to represent elemental concepts, a plurality of specific classes of entities form the MRM, and an interface is used to assemble, maintain, and interact with the model. Information may be added to the model by a research provider and provided to an end user on a subscription basis. The user is provided with an interconnected, navigable model of an item of interest for research and decision-making support.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer-aided design system comprises a functional regularity extraction component, a structural regularity extraction component and a floorplanning component. The functional regularity extraction component provides a method to extract regularity for circuits (and in particular datapath circuits) based on the functional characteristics of a logic design. Some embodiments of the functional regularity extraction component automatically generate a set of templates to cover a circuit. A template is a representation of a subcircuit with at least two instances in the circuit. The templates generated by the functional regularity extraction component are used by a structural regularity extraction component. The structural regularity extraction component provides a method to extract regularity for circuits (and in particular datapath circuits) based on the structural characteristics of a logic design.
