摘要： A method for implementing an ORC process to facilitate physical verification of an integrated circuit (IC) graphical design. The method includes partitioning the IC graphical design data into files by a host machine such that the files correspond to regions of interest or partitions with defined margins, dispersing the partitioned data files to available cpus within the network, processing of each job by the cpu receiving the file, wherein artifacts arising from bisection of partitioning margins during the partitioning, including cut-induced false errors, are detected and removed, and the shape-altering effects of such artifact errors are minimized and transmitting the results of processing at each cpu to the host machine for aggregate processing.

摘要： The present invention divides a large graphics file into smaller “frames” of graphics files. The division process is preferably load balanced amongst any number of processors. This allows many processors to be used in parallel to divide the large graphics file and to then process the smaller output frames. Additionally, the load balancing is performed in such a manner that only portions of the graphics file need be loaded by any one processor. This saves memory and computational requirements. Preferably, the graphics file is divided in a three-dimensional manner, such that any one processor will be assigned one three-dimensional block or volume of the graphics file. The three-dimensional partition of the graphics file will become one frame, and the one processor accesses the graphics file to copy its three-dimensional partition into the new output frame.
摘要翻译：本发明将大图形文件分割成更小的“帧”图形文件。分割过程优选地在任意数量的处理器之间进行负载平衡。这允许并行使用许多处理器来划分大图形文件，然后处理较小的输出帧。此外，负载平衡以这样的方式执行，即只有图形文件的一部分需要被任何一个处理器加载。这样可以节省内存和计算需求。优选地，图形文件以三维方式分割，使得任何一个处理器将被分配一个三维块或图形文件的体积。图形文件的三维分区将成为一帧，一个处理器访问图形文件，将其三维分区复制到新的输出帧中。

摘要： A system and method for visualizing data. Data are provided either in the form of data values of a data array or in the form of a geometric representation. A data array may be, for example, a sparse matrix. A geometric representation, may be, for example, an integrated circuit layout coded in a geometric description language. Data provided in the form of data values are associated with geometric shapes placed on a grid. Information placed on the grid is then reported to a user. If data are provided in the form of a geometric representation, then data values are extracted from the geometric representation. A graphic representation is generated from the extracted data values. The graphic representation is exhibited to a user.

摘要： A method for manufacturing an integrated circuit having improved defect-limited yield. Each conductor on the integrated circuit is represented as an electrical element of a network, having branch voltages and currents. The width of the conductor is advantageously selected to have the minimum width necessary to produce signal levels that have sufficient noise margins. An integrated circuit conductive grid is thus realized having a reduced cross sectional area along a portion of various conductor element lengths, to reduce the risk that particles produced during manufacturing will result in bridging of adjacent conductor elements.

摘要： Disclosed is a method and structure that partitions an integrated circuit design by identifying logical blocks within the integrated circuit design based on size heuristics of logical macros in the design hierarchy. The invention determines whether the number of logical blocks is within a range of desired number of logical blocks and repeats the process of identifying logical blocks for different hierarchical levels of the integrated circuit design until the number of logical blocks is within the range of the desired number of logical blocks. This serves as a guide to partition the chip as opposed to a grid-like partitioning.
