  • Patent number: 7853912
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method is disclosed for converging on an acceptable integrated circuit design for an integrated circuit. The method can include selecting a path, determining if the path has a timing deficiency, segmenting the path into path segments and allocating the timing deficiency across the segments according to attributes of the path segments. Segments can have attributes such as a design freeze when the design is mature or “optimum.” Allocating can include allocating the timing deficiency across path segments according to attributes such as the proportion of the length of a segmented path to the overall path length. Allocating can include allocating the timing deficiency to path segments based on attributes provided as user input.

  • Patent number: 7836418
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to integrated circuit design, and more particularly to systems and methods for providing power optimization in a hierarchical netlist. A method includes generating a hierarchical netlist of the design, wherein the design includes a plurality of macros. The method also includes determining the timing slack of each path of the design. For each pin of each one of the plurality of macros, the method includes: determining the worst timing path; determining the slack value of the worst timing path; determining the subset of macros of the plurality of macros associated with the worst timing path; determining an apportionment parameter for each one of the subset of macros; determining a distribution of the slack amongst the subset of macros based upon the respective apportionment parameters; and adjusting timing assertions for each one of the subset of macros based upon the distribution of the slack.

  • Publication number: 20040196494
    Abstract: A method is for determining a format type of a print data stream having one of a plurality of known data stream formats. The method includes: presenting a print data stream having a plurality of numeric values encoding data formulated in an unknown data stream format; determining an encoding format for the numeric values of the print data stream; and analyzing the print data stream in relation to a plurality of known data stream formats, thereby determining a format type for the print data stream.
