Methods and apparatus to implement library analytics and guided partitioning to select power-performance-area of semiconductor chip design

Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. In one example, the apparatus includes memory, instructions, and processor circuitry to instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to determine a design block associated with a design exception, parse the design block into a functional netlist of cell families, generate a cell occurrence counts distribution, and group cell families into cell family bins corresponding to fabrication parameters. The processor circuitry further determines inclusion of a first cell family bin does not improve one or more process technology attribute values and causes a user interface to indicate the first cell family bin as a cell family bin candidate for removal from the functional netlist.
