Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for improved high-performance parallel data sorting is provided. In a first phase, a plurality of unordered data elements to be sorted is divided into K unordered lists each preferably having approximately M elements. Each of these K unordered lists can be independently sorted in parallel using any algorithm, such as quicksort, to generate K ordered lists. In a second phase, N balanced workloads are determined from the K ordered lists by using an iterative converging process capped by a maximum number of iterations. Thus, any non-uniform or skewed data distribution can be load balanced with minimal processing time. Once the N balanced workloads are determined, they can be independently sorted in parallel, for example by using a merge sort, and then combined with a fast concatenation to provide the final sorted result. Thus, sorting operations are fully parallelized while avoiding any expensive data scanning steps.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to the emulation of circuits, and tracking states of signals in an emulated circuit for performing power analysis. A host system incorporates power analysis logic into a design under test (DUT). An emulator emulates the DUT along with the incorporated power analysis logic.

Abstract: This disclosure describes an approach to create a library of pre-marked circuit element objects and use the pre-marked circuit element object library to design and fabricate an integrated circuit. Each of the circuit element objects are “pre-marked” and include embedded voltage markers having independent pre-assigned voltage values for each terminal in the circuit element object. When a circuit designer inserts a pre-marked circuit element object in a schematic design, the design tool determines whether each of the circuit element object terminal's pre-assigned voltage values match their corresponding nets to which they are connected. When the circuit designer completes the schematic design that includes valid nets throughout the schematic design, the design tool generates a layout design from the schematic design. The design tool, in turn, generates mask layer data from the layout design when the layout design passes verification testing.

Abstract: A matrix is produced for a semiconductor design. Interactions between mask edges in forming semiconductor shapes are determined and a graph created that shows those interactions. The graph is then partitioned into groups using a coloring algorithm, with each group representing one or more non-interacting mask edges. A lithography simulation is performed for each group, with the edges of that group perturbed, but the edges of other groups unmoved. The partial derivatives are calculated for the edges of a group based on the simulation with those edges perturbed, and used to populate locations in a Jacobian matrix. The Jacobian matrix is then used to solve an Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) problem by finding a mask edge correction vector for a given wafer targeting error vector.

The conflict graph is evaluated to identify a conflict, such as a self-aligned multiple pattering (SAMP) conflict, associated with the initial design layout. The conflict is visually displayed so that the initial design layout can be modified to resolve the conflict.
