20110252388 | COMPARING TIMING CONSTRAINTS OF CIRCUITS - Timing behaviors associated with constraints of circuits are compared to identify mismatches between circuit configurations. Aggregate sets of timing constraints associated with timing nodes are determined for timing paths between start points and end points. Precedence rules are applied to aggregate sets of timing constraints by applying precedence rules to interacting timing constraints. Aggregate sets of constraints for corresponding timing nodes are matched to determine if timing constraint mismatches exist between circuits. If aggregate timing constraints associated with start point, end point pairs are found to match, reconvergent points between the start point and end points are analyzed to see if aggregate constraints of timing nodes connected to reconvergent/divergent points match if timing exception matches are involved. Graph traversal algorithms allow efficient computation of aggregate timing constraints for timing nodes. | 10-13-2011 |
