Abstract
A method is disclosed. The method includes computing a time delay for each path of a plurality of paths of a circuit design and determining a commonality score based on a number of segments that are common between the plurality of paths of the circuit design. The method further includes determining a criticality score based on the time delay for each path of the plurality of paths of the circuit design. The method further includes generating a graphical representation of the plurality of paths, wherein a first dimension of the graphical representation corresponds to the commonality score and wherein a second dimension of the graphical representation corresponds to the criticality score. The method further includes providing the graphical representation of the plurality of paths in a graphical user interface (GUI) to represent the plurality of paths in the circuit design.
