Abstract

See full text

Timing slack is allocated to edges of a timing graph by a converging loop that calls a Domain Restricted Timing Cone (DRTC) iterator. The DRTC iterator invokes a kernel program for each DRTC and computes time budgets for each edge. The time budgets are kept within established constraints of the corresponding DRTC. A timing verifier computes an amount of slack for each edge based on the time budget. An edge or arc of the timing graph is made permanent when the slack is less than a predetermined epsilon. The kernel program is based on any of a fast estimate, consideration of all time to end point (tte) and weight to endpoint (wte) pairs within the graph, and/or a set of tte wte pairs (or an envelope) that represent segments of a lowest slack to weight ratio.
