Patent number: 12118283Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein relate to automatic channel identification of high-bandwidth memory channels and subchannel generation. An HBM channel identification system may perform a sequence of operations to identify HBM channels within a netlist of an interposer: channel dimension prediction, channel bounding box prediction, channel orientation derivation, subchannel partition, and subchannel routing region creation. In one example, an HBM channel identification method includes identifying candidate nets within a netlist. A bounding box that includes one or more nets of the candidate nets is determined. Once the bounding box is determined, the orientation of the box is determined and used to determine a pattern of bumps within the bounding box. Finally, a subchannel is generated based on the pattern of bumps.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2023Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: Synopsys, Inc.Inventors: Xun Liu, Gary K. Yeap

Patent number: 11361142Abstract: A computing system can implement a circuit verification tool to perform scaled sampling of parameter values in a foundry model describing parameter variations for a manufacturing process capable of fabricating an integrated circuit described in a circuit design. The computing system can simulate the circuit design with the scaled samples of the parameter values, and build a geometric model to describe a response of the circuit design to the scaled samples of the parameter values during the simulation. The geometric model can include one or more failure regions corresponding to geometric descriptions for failures of the circuit design to meet a specification during simulation with the scaled samples of the parameter values. The computing system can estimate a yield for an output of the integrated circuit described by the circuit design based on the failure regions in the geometric model.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Siemens Industry Software Inc.Inventor: Joel Cooper

Patent number: 11341307Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for placing hardware components on a printed circuit board (“PCB”) in a way that enables all hardware components on the PCB to be passively cooled without using active cooling systems. Components are selected to be placed onto the PCB and heat metrics for each component is obtained (e.g., from a server). The components are ranked based on the amount of heat that each component generates. A corresponding position for each of the hardware components is determined based on the ranking of the components and the orientation of the PCB. The placement is based on the concept that air having higher temperature rises while air having cooler temperature falls. A representation of the PCB according to corresponding positions of the hardware components may be generated for display.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Goldman Sachs & Co. LLCInventor: Michael Mattioli

Patent number: 11281828Abstract: An automated analog layout tool creates not just one, but many electrically correct layouts from an input schematic. Designers can explore multiple layout options in a fraction of the time needed to produce just a single layout by hand. Because the tool produces layout results so quickly, parasitics are available for simulation early in the design process, further speeding the entire design cycle. The tool considers place and route concurrently.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Pulsic LimitedInventors: Paul Clewes, Liang Gao, Jonathan Longrigg

Patent number: 11270050Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for use with an electronic design. Embodiments may include displaying, at a graphical user interface, at least a portion of the electronic design and receiving a selection of a subcircuit at a first position of the graphical user interface. In response to a user input, embodiments may include transitioning the subcircuit from the first position to a second position of the graphical user interface and determining one or more direct and indirect connections resulting from a potential placement at the second position. Embodiments may include determining an influence metric by applying an optimized connectivity rules definition upon the potential placement at the second position and the one or more direct and indirect connections. Embodiments may also include displaying feedback at the graphical user interface based upon, at least in part, the influence metric.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2021Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Inventors: Hitesh Mohan Kumar, Anuj Jain, Sahil Vij, Abhimanyu Bhowmik, Rahul Kumar

Patent number: 11112970Abstract: In some embodiments, a logging framework reserves space in an in-memory storage for a log entry upon receiving a first function call from an application being executed. Upon receiving a second function call from the application being executed, the framework writes the log entry in the space in the in-memory storage. Upon receiving a third function call from the application being executed, the framework selects a configuration for the application and comparing an indicator that is generated based on the executing of the application to the configuration. When the indicator meets a condition of the configuration, the framework copies the log entry from the space in the in-memory storage to a persistent storage space. The log entry is deleted from the space in the in-memory storage at a time after performing the comparing.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2017Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: SAP SEInventor: Christian Martick
