ABSTRACT:
An intellectual property (IP) merge system includes first and second storage device portions, a graphical user interface server, and an IP server. A user inputs integrated circuit (IC) configuration information into the first storage device by way of a network. The second storage device portion stores cell library IP data. The graphical user interface server serves at least one page by way of the network. The page enables the user to request an IP merge operation based on the IC configuration information and the cell library IP data. The IP server performs the IP merge operation in response to the request by the user.
