ABSTRACT:
A computer-readable recording medium on which is recorded a program, which is used by a computer for estimating a critical path among a plurality of paths given as paths within an integrated circuit, for causing the computer to execute a process, the process comprising receiving from a memory inputs of a logic description for the integrated circuit, and the plurality of given paths, obtaining a path evaluation value, which represents a delay of a path, for each of the given paths, and prioritizing the paths according to evaluation values, and estimating a path having a large evaluation value as the critical path.
