Systems and methods are disclosed to automatically determine an optimal number format representation for a model or code to be implemented in a custom integrated circuit (IC) by determining a ratio of dynamic range to static range in the model or code, and selecting a floating point or a fixed point number representation based on the ratio; determining the optimal number representation format based on a cost function that includes hardware area and power cost associated with a predetermined bit precision arithmetic; automatically generating a processor architecture customized to the optimal number representation format; and synthesizing the generated processor architecture into a computer readable description of the custom integrated circuit for semiconductor fabrication.

Systems and techniques for facilitating layout of an integrated circuit (IC) design are described. A distinct color pattern can be assigned to a set of shapes in a layout of the IC design that correspond to a net. Next, the layout of the IC design can be displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI) of the IC design tool. Some embodiments can move a diffusion region of a multigate device with respect to the location of the device contacts so that the diffusion region is aligned with respect to a set of fin tracks, wherein each fin of each multigate device is located on a fin track.

The invention discloses a method of structuring a multiport asynchronous storage module and relates to buffer storage and interchange of multichannel parallel data in the process of data interchange and processing. The method of structuring the multiport asynchronous storage module aims at solving the problem that in the process of design of a current semi-custom integrated circuit, a used storer of a technological library just has two types of single ports or double ports and can not meet certain situations of high data throughput rates. An addressing manner of address decoding control partitioning reading and writing is adopted by a plurality of double-port type storers in the technological library to structure the multiport asynchronous storage module, so that the aim that a simple port storage module is structured to the multiport storage module is achieved, and the requirement for the high data throughput rates is reached. The method of structuring the multiport asynchronous storage module has the advantages of flexibly expanding capacity and available access ports of the storer according to design requirements, reducing design difficulty, and shortening development time. Relative to a full-custom multiport storer, the method of structuring the multiport asynchronous storage module has the advantages of being good in flexible performance, high in reliability, small in design risk and the like.
