The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for electronic design automation. Embodiments may include providing, using at least one processor, an electronic circuit design at a graphical user interface. Embodiments may further include associating one or more metrics with the electronic circuit design, wherein the one or more metrics include at least one of process metrics, design metrics, issues, library metrics, and custom metrics. Embodiments may further include allowing a user to specify one or more rules that define a key performance indicator for at least a portion of the electronic circuit design, wherein the key performance indicator is based upon, at least in part, the one or more metrics. After a design process associated with the electronic circuit design has been initiated, embodiments may include displaying the key performance indicator at the graphical user interface.

System and method for customizing key performance indicators in an electronic design

The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for use in an electronic circuit design. Embodiments may include providing, using at least one processor, an electronic circuit design and generating a configuration associated with a portion of the electronic circuit design. Embodiments may further include associating a label with the configuration at a graphical user interface and applying the configuration to at least one of a design object, a sub-design, or the electronic circuit design. Embodiments may also include displaying the configuration and electronic design data associated with the configuration.

System and method for managing configuration data associated with an electronic design

The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for electronic design automation. Embodiments may include providing an initial electronic circuit design and receiving an initial parts list configured to include at least one of logical parts and physical parts associated with the initial electronic circuit design. Embodiments may further include providing authorization to at least one user to edit the initial parts list via a graphical user interface, wherein the at least one user is a subset of all possible users. Embodiments may also include receiving an update to the initial parts list from the at least one user via the graphical user interface and generating an updated parts list based upon, at least in part, the update. Embodiments may further include allowing access to the updated parts list to one or more additional users.

System and method for optimizing a parts list associated with an electronic design

A system and method are provided for adaptively optimized recomposition of a parts list for fabrication of an electronic circuit product. A parts list acquisition portion forms a parts list containing a plurality of constituent parts entries read from one or more predetermined sources. The parts entries are respectively identified in the parts list by different corresponding part identifiers. An optimization unit coupled to the parts list acquisition unit comparatively determines mutual matching between different parts entries based on at least one optimization parameter. The optimization unit intermediately recomposes the parts list by incorporating one or more suggested parts substitutions to adaptively consolidate mutually matched pairs of parts entries. A results exploration unit coupled to the optimization unit actuates a user interface portion to render the intermediately recomposed parts list, and alternatively incorporates or discards the suggested parts substitutions responsive to user input, to generate a fully recomposed parts list.
