20120278647 | Reducing Memory Used To Store Totals In Static Timing Analysis - A system and a method are disclosed for reducing memory used in storing totals during static timing analysis. Totals are stored at various points along paths analyzed in static timing analysis.

Totals at a point may be stored in a super-tag mapping table and replaced at the point with a super-tag. The super-tag includes a super-tag ID referencing the totals stored in the super-tag mapping table. The super-tag also includes a time delay value. The time delay value allows the super-tag ID to be reused in other super-tags at other points while still storing total time delays at the other points.
