Abstract
A method for timing path analysis using flow graphs. The method includes receiving timing data associated with an integrated circuit (IC) design. The timing data includes a plurality of timing paths. The method also includes generating a graphical representation of the plurality of timing paths. A timing path is represented as a flow ribbon across one or more components of the IC design. A display attribute of the flow ribbon is indicative of a metric of the timing path. The graphical representation is provided in a graphical user interface (GUI) to a user.
