| 20100211922 | Method of Performing Statistical Timing Abstraction for Hierarchical Timing Analysis of VLSI circuits - A method for performing a hierarchical statistical timing analysis of an integrated circuit (IC) chip design by abstracting one or more macros of the design. The method includes performing a statistical static timing analysis of at least one macro; performing a statistical abstraction of the macro to obtain a statistical abstract model of the macro timing characteristics; applying the statistical abstract model as the timing model for each occurrence of the macro leading to a simplified IC chip design; and performing a hierarchical statistical timing analysis of the simplified chip design.

| 20100268522 | MODELING FULL AND HALF CYCLE CLOCK VARIABILITY - A modeling system includes a processor with software that performs static timing analysis (STA) on a design model. STA software executes a static timing analysis (STA) run with shortened clock cycles to model full cycle clock variability. Designers or other entities interpret the results of the shortened STA run data by performing modeling on the output data to generate slack data for design model data paths. STA software executes an STA run with an extended clock cycle to automatically separate half cycle data path (HCDP) slack data from full cycle data path (FCDP) slack data. The full and half cycle clock variability method may automatically adjust slack data for all half cycle data paths (HCDP)s to account for the additional half cycle variation (AHCV) and half cycle clock edge variability that may penalize the design model results in a real hardware implementation. Designers use a sort of slack data for half cycle data paths (HCDP)s independent of the slack data for the full cycle data path (FCDP)s to modify or otherwise perform design changes to the design model prior to hardware implementation. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100269083 | Method of Employing Slew Dependent Pin Capacitances to Capture Interconnect Parasitics During Timing Abstraction of VLSI Circuits - A method for converting interconnect parasitics of an interconnect network into slew dependent pin capacitances utilizes charge matching between predetermined voltage thresholds. During timing abstraction of a macro, parasitics of interconnects connected to the primary inputs are represented as slew dependent pin capacitances in an abstract model being created. Interconnect model order reduction is employed to speed the process. The generated abstract is subsequently used in place of each occurrence of the macro during chip level hierarchical static timing analysis, leading to an enhanced accuracy of the timing analysis of the logic components driving the abstracts. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20080279197 | Application level router for routing heterogeneous input to the most appropriate application - A client-agnostic software routing component for routing input data of a type and version to a most appropriate type and version of client application of a family of related applications. The router, rather than the client application, registers as the file extension handler and as the protocol handler, and thus, receives all input data targeting the client applications. On startup, the router creates a list of available client applications, the client versions and types, and versions of input data the clients can handle. On receiving the input, the router determines if the router can parse the version of the input. The router refers to the list of available clients to determine if one or more of the client applications can handle a particular version and type of the input data. After this determination, the router routes the input to the most appropriate client. | 11-13-2008 |
