Abstract
A computer executing method is provided in this disclosure. The computer executing method is configured for synthesizing a clock tree circuit, the clock tree circuit includes a plurality of clock pins, a plurality of weight values are set between any of the clock pins, the computer executing method includes steps of: establishing a graph model; utilizing a force directed algorithm to calculate a branch position according to the weight values and a position of the clock pins; setting a guide buffer in the branch position and updating a netlist; performing a clock tree synthesis (CTS) and executing a post-CTS static timing analysis (STA); determining whether an analysis result of the post-CTS STA and a timing setup value is identical or not; and if the analysis result does not match the timing setup value, re-establishing a graph model.
