Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system for judging relevance between integrated circuit performance and complex network characteristics thereof. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out multi-tool physical design on a super-large-scale integrated circuit in a layout and wiring stage in the physical design, i.e., carrying out layout and wiring on an initial circuit by using different tools to obtain completely different layout diagrams and layouts so as to obtain different circuit performances; afterwards, complex network conversion is conducted on the layout diagram and the layout of the circuit, feature parameters of a complex network diagram of the circuit are calculated through a complex network analysis tool, network feature parameter-circuit performance correlation coefficients are calculated according to circuit performance changes and feature parameter changes, and the correlation between the performance of the integrated circuit and the feature parameters of the complex network is judged. According to the invention, the circuit performance and characteristics are not changed in the process of carrying out complex network conversion on the layout diagramand the layout, and the method has transparency.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of applying complex network theory to the physical design of integrated circuits, and in particular relates to a method and system for determining the correlation between integrated circuit performance and its complex network characteristics. Background technique [0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure, and do not necessarily constitute prior art. [0003] VLSI is short for Very Large Scale Integration Circuit (Very Large Scale Integration Circuit), which integrates millions of transistors on a single silicon chip. At present, with the rapid development of integrated circuit technology, more and more VLSI components are integrated on a single chip, the density is further increased, and the circuit structure is more complex. In order to ensure that the optimization of chip performance requires continuous improvement of chip optimization design ...
