Abstract
Embodiments relate to a system and method for analyzing strongly connected components (SCCs) in a design of an integrated circuit. In one embodiment, a design of an integrated circuit is received, and a set of loops are identified in the received design. Based on the identified loops, one or more SCCs are determined. Each SCC includes multiple loops having shared paths. For instance, an SCC includes a first loop having a first set of nodes connected via a first set of paths and a second loop having a second set of nodes connected via a second set of paths, such that the first loop and the second loop have at least one path in common. The identified SCCs are then analyzed and presented to the user for consideration when reviewing the design of the integrated circuit.
