Method and system for automated script generation for EDA tools

摘要

Disclosed is an improved method, system, and computer program product to perform automated generation and/or modification of control scripts for EDA tools. A script generator/modifier mechanism is used to access an optimization database to identify potential content of the control script. This potential content is then analyzed to identify the appropriate content to insert into the control script, to accomplish the intended goal of the user in operating the EDA tool. The script generator/modifier mechanism may itself be implemented in a script format.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method implemented with a processor, the method comprising:
analyzing a set of tasks to be performed by an electronic design automation (EDA) tool; automatically generating a control script to implement the set of tasks by at least choosing at least one appropriate content item from multiple potential content items for insertion into the control script, wherein
an optimization database and a design information database are accessed to generate the control script, the optimization database comprising rules for optimizing the control script and the multiple potential content items that constitute candidates for insertion into the control script, andthe at least one appropriate content item is chosen from the multiple potential content items based at least in part upon results of analyzing the multiple potential content items; and using the control script to operate the EDA tool to perform the set of tasks.
