Adaptive model interface for a plurality of EDA programs

Abstract:

In the described examples, a model impact monitor can include an electronic design automation (EDA) manager that communicates with a plurality of EDA programs, wherein each EDA program generates a model set for a register-transfer level (RTL) design comprising a list of RTL operations. The model impact monitor can also include an adaptive model interface that records changes to the RTL operations of the RTL design and measures a change in performance characteristics of each of the plurality of EDA programs based on a respective one of the changes in the RTL operations of the RTL design.
