Problems solved by technology

How to ensure that the data is completely transmitted without data loss. When exporting and importing files, even within the scope supported by the standard, information or accuracy will be lost
In addition to the data supported by the standard, user-defined data cannot be carried to the next tool
In addition, there are artificial barriers set by different EDA manufacturers, such as not supporting the data of other manufacturers' tools, especially the data of rival manufacturers
This directly makes switching between different tools extremely inconvenient or even impossible
[0004] The application and release of memory have a great impact on the overall performance of an application, and even become the bottleneck of an application in many cases

Embodiment 1

[0053] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the VLSI database structure based on the memory pool according to the present invention, such as figure 1 As shown, the memory pool-based VLSI database of the present invention includes a memory pool manager 10, a memory page manager 20, a memory block 30, a memory page 40, a free object list 50, and a data object identifier 60, in,

[0054] The memory pool manager 10 is configured to manage the entire memory pool.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, it consists of a memory pool manager (MemPool), several memory page managers (MemPagePool), several memory chunks (MemChunk) and several memory pages (MemPage). The memory pool manager includes memory pools, which are relatively independent, and different memory pools correspond to different design modules in the chip design. But they are all in the container of the memory pool manager, and correspond to specific chip modules one by one.

[0056] The memory page man...

Embodiment 2

[0067] image 3 For the VLSI database design method flow chart based on the memory pool of the present invention, reference will be made below image 3 , to describe in detail the VLSI database design method based on the memory pool of the present invention.

[0068] First, in step 201, the memory pool manager 10 is initialized.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present invention, the memory pool manager 10 allocates an array space for storing pointers of different memory pools, and at the same time generates a table for mapping the memory pools and circuit design modules.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the initialization of the memory pool manager is completed, the program can operate on the circuit design module.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present invention, for a new design module, a new memory pool needs to be allocated for organizing the memory space of the data objects inside it.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, t...

Embodiment 3

[0084] In an embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device is also provided, including a memory and a processor, wherein a computer program is stored in the memory, and the processor is configured to run the computer program to execute the above memory pool-based The steps of VLSI database design method.

Abstract

A super-large-scale integrated circuit database based on a memory pool comprises a memory pool manager, a memory page manager, a memory block, a memory page, an idle object linked list and a data object identifier. The memory pool manager is used for managing the memory page manager; the memory page manager is used for organizing a memory space of a design data object; the memory block is used fordistributing a space for performing object operation to a database; the memory page is used for distributing data objects; the idle object linked list is used for performing management through the memory page manager and storing released memory space; the data object identifier is used as a unique identifier of each data object to which the space is allocated. Through management of the memory pool, memory allocation and storage reading of the database have quick response and high-efficiency space utilization, so that high requirements on data in super-large-scale integrated circuit design aresupported.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit design automation, in particular to a database design method in EDA tools. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the semiconductor industry, the characteristic size of the chip is getting smaller and smaller, and the number of transistors embedded in the chip is also increasing exponentially. Continuous shortening, chip design is facing unprecedented challenges. In order to ensure high-quality, high-reliability products, complete design closure and achieve product function goals within the specified time, the chip design industry increasingly relies on excellent design software. Internationally, the three giants of Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor under Siemens each have a wide variety of design tools and their own proprietary databases. At the same time, they also support standard format data such as Verilog, LEF / DEF, and Liberty. Input and output, etc. There is also the Op...
