Generating a circuit layout is provided. A circuit layout associated with a circuit is received. A parallel pattern recognition is performed on the circuit layout. Performing the parallel pattern recognition includes determining that there is a parallel pattern in the circuit layout. In response to determining that there is a parallel pattern in the circuit layout, a cell swap for a first cell associated with the parallel pattern with a second cell is performed. After the cell swap for the first cell, engineering change order routing is performed to connect the second cell in the circuit layout. An updated circuit layout having the second cell is provided.

A processor receives, as input, a first hardware description language (HDL) file defining an entity of a modular circuit design. The first HDL file instantiates, by a storage element declaration in a hardware description language, a storage element within the entity. The first HDL file omits a port map for the storage element. Based on the first HDL file, the processor automatically fully elaborates a port map for the storage element. The processor stores, in data storage, a derived second HDL file defining the entity and including the port map.

A method for assembling heterogeneous components. The assembly process includes using a vacuum based pickup mechanism in conjunction with sub-nm precise more alignment techniques resulting in highly accurate, parallel assembly of feedstocks.

Circuit design simulation and clock event reduction may include detecting, using computer hardware, a plurality of models of a circuit design driven by a clock source by parsing the circuit design. The circuit design is a mixed language circuit design including a hardware description language (HDL) model and a high-level programming language (HLPL) model. Using the computer hardware, a clock requirement for the HLPL model for a simulation of the circuit design may be determined. The clock requirement of the HLPL model differs from a clock requirement of the HDL model. Using the computer hardware, an interface of the HLPL model may be modified based on the clock requirement of the HLPL model.

A technique for domain crossing verification including receiving a first data object representation of an electrical circuit, performing a domain crossing check on the first data object representation to identify a domain crossing issue, receiving an indication of an assumption for the identified domain crossing issue, converting the first data object representation of the electrical circuit to a second data object representation of the electrical circuit, wherein the second data object representation is synthesized based on the first data object representation, determining one or more verification checks based on the second data object representation and the assumption for the identified domain crossing issue, and performing the one or more verification checks on the second data object representation of the electrical circuit.

An integrated circuit physical design wiring and optimization method includes, in a first physical design wiring process, performing physical design wiring with a weight of each of one or more signal lines set to a first weight and a weight of a clock line set to a second weight, extracting a violation signal line with a time sequence violation during the first physical design wiring process, and in a second physical design wiring process, reperforming physical design wiring on the violation signal line, a remaining signal line other than the violation signal line, and the clock line with the weight of the violation signal line set to a third weight greater than the first weight. The first weight is less than or equal to the second weight.

A clock design method for two or more physical partition structures based on a same system clock. The method includes determining a distance of each circuit logic from the system clock; based on the distance between each circuit logic and the system clock, obtaining a plurality of clock nodes from the system clock to cause a delay of each clock node compared to the system clock to change with the distance from each circuit logic and the system clock, the greater the distance, the greater the delay; connecting each circuit logic to a corresponding clock node based on size of each circuit logic and the distance; and converging timing of each circuit logic by adjusting the delay of each clock node compared to the system clock.
