Timing closure of circuit designs for integrated circuits

Abstract:

Closing timing for a circuit design can include displaying, using a display device, a first region having a plurality of controls corresponding to a plurality of data sets generated at different times during a phase of a design flow for a circuit design, wherein each control selects a data set associated with the control, and displaying, using the display device, a second region configured to display a list of critical paths for data sets selected from the first region using one of the plurality of controls. Closing timing further can include displaying, using the display device, a third region configured to display a representation of a target integrated circuit including layouts for the critical paths of the list for implementations of the circuit design specified by the selected data sets.
