Filed:

Mar 22, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/427516

Inventors:

David J. Widiger - Pflugerville TX, US
Ronald D. Rose - Essex Junction VT, US
Sandy K. Kao - Austin TX, US
Gerald F. Plumb - Round Rock TX, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 17/50

US Classification:

716136, 716105, 716126, 716139

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed to a method for extracting information for a circuit design. The method may utilize an incremental extraction process for extracting information for a portion of the circuit design. Extracted results of this portion may be merged with a previously extracted result to obtain an integrated result that is equivalent to that of extracting the entire circuit design. The incremental extraction process may identify a set of changed shapes, a set of affected shapes, and a set of involved shapes for extraction. The method may also divide the circuit design into a plurality of regions, wherein two or more regions may be processed in parallel.

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed to a method for extracting information for a circuit design. The method includes establishing a reflexive relationship between a plurality of design shapes corresponding to a plurality of circuit components in the circuit design. The method includes receiving a design change for at least one design shape of the plurality of design shapes. The method includes identifying a set of changed shapes, a set of affected shapes, and a set of involved shapes. The method includes extracting at least one of a capacitance, an inductance or a resistance for the updated circuit design based on at least one of the set of changed shapes, the set of affected shapes and the set of involved shapes. The method includes updating the plurality of circuit components in the circuit design based on at least one of the set of changed shapes and the set of affected shapes.

International Classification:

US Classification:

716103, 716106, 716108, 716109, 716132, 716133, 716134

Abstract:

A mechanism is provided for rapid estimation of temperature rise in wires due to Joule heating. The mechanism provides fast and accurate estimation of temperature rise in wires due to self heating. Fast estimation is important to handle millions of nets at the full-chip level. The mechanism models lateral heat flow by considering longitudinal heat flow along the wire and lateral thermal coupling to the other wires in the same level. Lateral heat flow can have a significant effect on the temperature rise. The mechanism also models vertical heat flow to the substrate and the heat sink by considering thermal conductivities of vias and inter-layer dielectric (ILD). The mechanism efficiently solves the thermal system to enable physical design optimizations (e. g. , wire sizing, etc. ) for fixing electromigration violations.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 1453, 705 261, 705 11

Abstract:

A method and system is disclosed for conducting electronic commerce within a social media environment. A user of a social media site elects to perform an activity associated with a social commerce site. Once the social commerce activity has been performed, its corresponding value is processed with social commerce reputation data associated with the user to generate a social commerce reputation score for the user. The resulting social commerce reputation score is then compared to the requirements associated with different social commerce reputation badges. The social commerce reputation badge that matches the user's current social commerce reputation score is then displayed as a graphical image within the social commerce site along with the user's associated social commerce reputation data.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 271

Abstract:

A method and system is disclosed for conducting electronic commerce within a social media environment. A user performs social media interactions within a social media environment and elects to consider purchasing a vendor's product that is referenced in an activity stream. The user then proceeds to a social commerce site while they are still within the social media environment. The user then accesses the social commerce site and performs social commerce operations, such as selecting and purchasing the product referenced in the activity stream.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 271, 705 261

Abstract:

A method and system is disclosed for conducting electronic commerce within a social media environment. A social commerce site is generated and then configured by a vendor, on behalf of a vendor affiliate, or by the vendor affiliate. Once the social commerce site is activated for operation, a user performs social media interactions within a social media environment and elects to consider purchasing a vendor's product that is referenced in an activity stream. The user then proceeds to the social commerce site, while they are still within the social media environment, and performs social commerce operations, such as selecting and purchasing the product referenced in the activity stream. Data associated with social commerce operations is collected, processed for analysis, and displayed for review within a user interface.
