Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing template-based classification of a circuit design are disclosed. A template file is read that defines a plurality of channel-connected-region (CCR) templates. A graph is formatted for each of the CCR templates. A plurality of CCRs are identified based on a partitioned netlist file that defines a given circuit design. A graph is generated for each of the identified CCRs. A matching CCR template graph is identified for each generated CCR graph. The template file may further defines super-CCR templates, and a graph may be formatted for each of the super-CCR templates. All possible combinations of CCRs and previously-matched super-CCRs that are candidates to match the formatted super-CCR template graph may be determined in an interative manner, for each formatted super-CCR template graph. A determination may be made as to which of the candidate combinations actually match the formatted super-CCR template graph.
