ABSTRACT:
Computer aided design tools are provided that assist circuit designers in optimizing circuit performance. A circuit designer who is designing an integrated circuit may supply circuit design data and constraint data. Computer aided design tools may process the data to produce output data. The output data may include information on an implementation of the circuit design in a given type of integrated circuit device and may include report data on how the implementation of the circuit design is expected to perform. An optimization assistance tool analyzes the design and constraint data and the report data to identify potential problem areas. Recommendations may be provided to the circuit designer on how to address potential problems. Selectable options are displayed for the circuit designer. By selecting an appropriate option, the circuit designer can automatically launch a tool to make recommended settings adjustments.
