A computer system may obtain a first schematic design netlist for a first IC design and a second schematic design netlist for a second IC design. The computer system may normalize the first netlist and the second netlist. The computer system may determine that the normalized first netlist is the same as the normalized second netlist. The computer system may obtain a first layout design data for the first IC design and a second layout design data for the second IC design. The computer system may determine that the first layout data is the same as the second layout data. The computer system may copy a sign-off data of the first IC design to the second IC design.

Enabling an incremental sign-off process using design data

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for reducing power consumption during the operation of a SRAM cell. Embodiments of the present invention reduce power consumption by determining switching activity, and based off a determination of low switching activity, gates off a core which is not written; and limits switching activity on the unaddressed core by applying the highest order bit.

NAND-based write driver for SRAM

A method for implementing a hardware design that includes using a computer for receiving structured data that includes a representation of a basic hardware structure and a complex hardware structure that includes the basic hardware structure, parsing the structured data and generating, based on a result of the parsing, commands of a hardware design environment.

Parsing data representative of a hardware design into commands of a hardware design environment

A method for analyzing and presenting application results, said method comprising the steps of creating at least one log file representing a result file of an application; tagging the at least one log file with at least one file tag representing a location of the result file of the application; tagging the at least one log file with at least one return code tag; tagging the at least one log file with at least one application configuration tag representing a graphical representation of the result file of the application; parsing the at least one log file tag; parsing the at least one return code tag; parsing the at least one application configuration tag; generating a summary report file from the at least one log file by using the parsed at least one file tag, the at least one return code tag, and the at least one application configuration tag; translating the summary report file into the graphical representation wherein the graphical representation comprises hyperlinks for navigation between the at least one log file; and presenting the graphical representation.
