Size reduction techniques for vital compliant vhdl simulation models

Abstract

A method and system select delay values from a VHDL standard delay file that correspond to an instance of a logic gate in a logic model. Then the system collects all the delay values of the selected instance and builds super generics for the rise-time and the fall-time of the selected instance. Then, the system repeats this process for every delay value in the standard delay file () that correspond to every instance of every logic gate in the logic model. The system then outputs a reduced size standard delay file () containing the super generics for every instance of every logic gate in the logic model.
