摘要: This paper proposes a general system-level timing verification method for System-on-Chips (SoC). Experiments have been carried out on several synthetic benchmark SoCs. Delays at the various interconnects are extracted from SDF file generated after place and route. A graph of cores is each SoC, with delays back annotated as weights. Algorithms presented that verifies criteria check points in circuit.
