PROCESSOR CHIP TIMING ADJUSTMENT ENHANCEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17541797 titled 'PROCESSOR CHIP TIMING ADJUSTMENT ENHANCEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application related to collecting data on circuit paths during the design stage of a processor chip. Delta values are added to the circuit paths, and broken circuit paths are identified based on these delta values. The target time for each broken circuit path can be adjusted.

• Data on circuit paths is collected during the design stage of a processor chip.
• Delta values are added to the circuit paths of the design model.
• Broken circuit paths are identified based on the delta values.
• The target time for each broken circuit path can be adjusted.

Potential Applications

• Processor chip design and optimization.
• Circuit path analysis and troubleshooting.

Problems Solved

• Identifying and addressing broken circuit paths in processor chip designs.
• Optimizing circuit paths for improved performance.

Benefits

• Improved efficiency and performance of processor chips.
• Faster identification and resolution of broken circuit paths.
• Enhanced design and optimization capabilities for circuit paths.

Original Abstract Submitted

Data relating to one or more circuit paths may be collected during a design stage of a processor chip based on a design model. One or more delta values may be added to the one or more circuit paths of the design model. One or more broken circuit paths may be identified based on the one or more delta values. A target time for each of the one or more broken circuit paths may be adjusted.
