Abstract
Best and most recent NDR types are selected for all RLM's in a design in order to achieve timing closure. The selection employed uses two levels of filtering to examine the NDR types for each RLM, and based on the outcome of the filtering selects the most appropriate NDR type for input to the timing analysis. In one arrangement, the selection scheme is completely automated and is performed at the beginning of a timing analysis via script-driven processes.
