Generating interrelated path groups by using machine learning

Abstract:

Techniques and systems for generating path groups for a set of violating timing path end-points in an integrated circuit (IC) design are described. Some embodiments can determine a set of attribute values for each violating timing path end-point in a set of violating timing path end-points. Next, the embodiments can use an unsupervised machine learning clustering technique to determine a set of clusters by using the attribute values. The embodiments can then generate a path group for each cluster, wherein the path group includes violating timing path end-points that belong to the cluster.
