Abstract
A deadlock detection method includes: retrieving at least one power node input of a circuit design file of an integrated circuit; retrieving a starting order of the power node; retrieving a target path starting from a specific node in accordance with the starting order; and performing deadlock detection in accordance with the starting order and the target path. A non-transitory machine readable medium stores a program code, wherein when executed by a processor, the program code enables the processor to perform the following steps: retrieving at least one power node input of a circuit design file of an integrated circuit; retrieving a starting order of the power node; retrieving a target path starting from a specific node in accordance with the starting order; and performing deadlock detection in accordance with the starting order and the target path.
