Patent number: 12050852Abstract: Based on a directive in a control file, a processor pre-routes, within a hierarchical integrated circuit design, a signal through one or more levels of design hierarchy between a signal source at a higher level of the design hierarchy and an entity instance at a lower level of the design hierarchy. The processor processes entity instances in the design hierarchy in a bottom-up manner to insert technology-specific structures into the hierarchical integrated circuit design. During the processing, the processor inserts into a particular entity instance of the design hierarchy a technology-specific structure and connects the technology-specific structure to the signal pre-routed to the particular entity instance by the pre-routing.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Wolfgang Roesner, Ali S.

Patent number: 11663381Abstract: A processor receives, as input, a first hardware description language (HDL) file defining an entity of a modular circuit design. The first HDL file instantiates, by a storage element declaration in a hardware description language, a storage element within the entity. The first HDL file omits a port map for the storage element. Based on the first HDL file, the processor automatically fully elaborates a port map for the storage element. The processor stores, in data storage, a derived second HDL file defining the entity and including the port map.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Stephen Gerard Shuma, Ali S.

Publication number: 20230072735Abstract: A processor receives an expression of design refinement intent with regard to an entity forming a part of a modular circuit design. The entity is defined by a hardware description language (HDL) file, and the expression of design refinement intent identifies an intent region within an implementation of the entity and specifies replacement logic for the region. Based on the expression of design refinement intent, the processor automatically modifies the HDL file by replacing logic within the intent region with the replacement logic. The processor then performs logical synthesis to generate a gate list representation of the modular circuit design as modified.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2021Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: Ali S. El-Zein, Wolfgang Roesner, Stephen Gerard Shuma, Robert Lowell Kanzelman, Michael Hemsley Wood, Chung-Lung K. Shum, Gabor Bobok, Robert James Shadowen, Viresh Paruthi, Derek E. Williams

Publication number: 20230074528Abstract: A first plurality of hardware description language (HDL) files defines a first scope of design forming only a subset of a larger hierarchical integrated circuit design. Technology-specific structures specific to a physical implementation are incorporated in the first scope of design. A second plurality of HDL files defining a first design entity that is at the first scope of design and that includes the technology-specific structures is generated. A third plurality of HDL files defining a second scope of design for the hierarchical integrated circuit design that is larger than and includes the first scope of design is formed. The third plurality of HDL files is processed to form a representation of the second scope of design. Processing the third plurality of HDL files includes replacing a second design entity in the second scope of design lacking at least some technology-specific structures with the first design entity.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2021Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: Ali S.
