This application discloses a
delay prediction method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. The
delay prediction method includes: acquiring the unit characteristic information of each unit in a circuit and the
characteristic sequence of each unit's
interconnection; calculating the
equivalent capacitance value of the
interconnection path between units based on the
capacitance and resistance values of each unit's
interconnection, and determining the target interconnection
delay characteristics between units based on the
equivalent capacitance values; determining the
unit delay characteristics of each unit based on the
equivalent capacitance values and unit characteristic information; inputting the interconnection delay characteristics and
unit delay characteristics into a preset delay prediction model; and performing prediction
processing on the interconnection delay characteristics and
unit delay characteristics based on the delay prediction model to obtain the delay result of the circuit. This application equates the
capacitance and resistance values of each unit's interconnection to equivalent
capacitance values, overcoming the deficiency in related technologies where the load capacitance ignores the resistance
shielding effect, thereby reducing the error of the load capacitance and improving the accuracy of timing prediction.
