Abstract
Various embodiments implement electronic designs with cloning techniques by identifying a root device corresponding to a master design in an electronic design, performing one or more sets of searches for device correspondence with respect to the root device, and implementing the electronic design by at least characterizing the device correspondence based at least in part upon one or more criterion for the one or more sets of searches. These techniques implement the electronic design by characterizing the device correspondence through at least determining whether the device correspondence represents a clone, a mutant, or a user clone and by identifying and replicating clones, mutants, and/or user clones in the electronic design.
