Embodiments included herein are directed towards a method for comparing constraint sets. The embodiments may include determining, using at least one processor, at least one arrival propagation time corresponding to at least one endpoint, the at least one endpoint associated with a first constraint set and a second constraint set. The embodiments may further include creating, using the at least one processor, a first tag associated with the first constraint set and a second tag associated with the second constraint set. The embodiments may also include determining, using the at least one processor, at least one of: a non-equivalent path exception corresponding to the at least one endpoint and based at least in part on at least one of the arrival propagation time, the first tag, and the second tag; and an equivalent path exception corresponding to the at least one endpoint.

System and method for comparing circuit design constraint sets

Disclosed are techniques for multi-mode, multi-corner physical optimization of electronic designs. These techniques identify an electronic design and a global set of views. Timing information is characterized with the global set of views for the electronic design. A set of active views is generated at least by pruning one or more views from the global set of views for a first node in the electronic design while maintaining the one or more views for a second node in the set of active views. The electronic design is then associated with the set of active views that is stored in a data structure in a non-transitory computer accessible storage medium.
