Abstract
A first set of timing paths may be selected in an integrated circuit (IC) design. A first set of timing slack values may be calculated for the first set of timing paths across a first set of corners. A dominant corner may be selected in the first set of corners based on the first set of timing slack values. A second set of timing slack values for the dominant corner may be determined for a second set of timing paths in the IC design. A third set of timing slack values may be estimated for the second set of timing paths for non-dominant corners. The third set of timing slack values may be used to select a second set of corners for a timing path in the second set of timing paths, and circuit objects in the timing path may be marked with the second set of corners.
