Automation method and system for assessing timing based on gaussian slack |
摘要 |
An automated design process using a computer system includes identifying a set of timing endpoints in a circuit defined by a machine-readable file. Values of slack in the estimated arrival times for the timing endpoints are assigned. Probability distribution functions, such as Gaussian distributions, are assigned for the respective values of slack, and are combined. The combination of probability distribution functions represents a measure of circuit performance. The measure is computed for alternative implementations of the circuit, and used to identify an alternative more likely to meet timing constraints. |
