Description

Line delay prediction method based on machine learning and node effective capacitance
Technical Field
The invention relates to an integrated circuit design technology, in particular to a line delay prediction technology, discloses a line delay prediction method based on machine learning and node effective capacitance, and belongs to the technical field of calculation, calculation or counting.
Background field
In physical design, network topology typically varies among iterations, and timing optimization also requires multiple iterations to achieve timing convergence. With the continued advancement of process technology, the wiring delays are increasingly heavier in duty cycle throughout the timing sequence, resulting in longer and more frequent iterations of the design process. Achieving timing closure typically requires multiple analyses, optimizations, and verifications, and is therefore a difficult and time-consuming process. In order to speed up timing closure, faster, more accurate static timing analysis techniques are needed.
Delay calculations are typically performed in stages, the delay of the computation unit and interconnect, and the transition time. Currently, nonlinear delay models and current source models are widely used for cell timing modeling. However, these models cannot be used directly when the load at the output includes interconnect resistance. Thus, the "effective capacitance" approach is employed to address the effects of interconnect resistance. The effective capacitance method attempts to find a capacitance that can be used as an equivalent load to ensure that the original design is similar in timing at the cell output to a design with an equivalent capacitive load, referred to as an "effective capacitance", which is a function of the input impedance of the drive cell and its load. Cell delay and transition time can be easily calculated by using a look-up table comprising effective capacitances in the cell library.
In the field of online delay computation, past studies have used simple but computationally efficient lumped RC delay models or Elmore delay models to calculate interconnect delays quickly, or delay metrics based on higher order moments to provide higher accuracy, elmore delay models consider the first moment of the impulse response, while other higher order methods such as AWE, arnoldi, etc. can match the higher order response moments. The accuracy of the interconnect delay calculation can be improved by higher order estimation, but the calculation amount is too large for the comprehensive application in layout driving, and the use of only the closed approximation method is insufficient for timing estimation. Studies have shown that when a network has many branches, the metrics of Elmore, D2M, etc. differ from SPICE simulation results.

In step S2, SPICE simulation is adopted to measure the node line delay of the sink end, and a line delay standard sample set is established; SPICE simulation measures sink end node line delay, which refers to delay from the RC network source to each receiving end, sink end node.
In step S3, the SPEF parasitic file and the netlist file are processed, the sink node line delay, the sink node slew and the effective capacitances of all nodes are calculated by combining the timing sequence library file, and the process of calculating the sink node line delay, the sink node slew and the effective capacitances of all nodes in this step will be described in detail by taking the SPEF winding shown in fig. 3 as an example with reference to the SPEF file processing flow shown in fig. 2, specifically including S3-1 to S3-5.
S3-1: judging whether the SPEF winding is a tree-type RC network or not, and if so, processing the SPEF winding into the tree-type RC network.
S3-2: initializing each Node i Is effective in terms of the effective capacitance Ceff of (2) i Node with source end Node 0 Is S of SLew 0 . Each Node i Initial effective capacitance Ceff of (c) i For the total capacitance Cto downstream of each nodetal i The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the RC network source Node 0 Is S of SLew 0 Effective capacitance Ceff from source node 0 Input of slewS with driving unit in Determining, by looking up the source node effective capacitance Ceff in the driving unit timing table in the timing library file 0 And/or the drive unit inputs the switching time S in In the (a) way, a source Node of the RC network is obtained 0 Is of slewS of (1) 0
S3-3: as shown in fig. 3, the slew is propagated from the source node forward to the sink node, and the delay from the source node to each node of the tree RC network is calculated by equation (1):
T 0-i =∑ all node i R i-1→i C eff i (1)
in the formula (1), T 0-i From the source Node to the ith Node i R is the delay of (1) i-1→i For the i-1 Node i-1 Node with i Node i Resistance between C eff i For the ith Node i Is effective in capacitance.
Calculate each Node by equation (2) i S of (2) i ,S i By the last Node i-1 Propagation S i-1 Obtained. For each pi-model consisting of two nodes and a resistor between them, the propagation process taking the shielding effect of the resistor into account is shown in fig. 4, and the tree-shaped SPEF windings are equivalent to a combination of several pi-models.

In step S4, processing obtains feature data required for training the machine learning model XGBoost, where the feature data includes: the driving unit inputs the transition time slew S in The method comprises the steps of determining the number of nodes from a source end to a sink end of an RC network, effective capacitances of all nodes on a path from the source end to the sink end of the RC network, and calculating the delay of the node line of the sink end and the conversion time slew of the node line of the sink end by an iterative algorithm. In this embodiment, 100 ten thousand SP groups are processedAnd training the machine learning model by using the characteristic data obtained by EF winding as a data set and using a cross validation method, dividing the data set into 5 subsets, sequentially selecting one subset as a validation set, taking the rest subsets as training sets, repeating training and validation for 5 times, and finally calculating the average value of the delay of a sink end node line and the average value of the conversion time of the sink end node as evaluation indexes of the model performance. Because the number of nodes on paths from a source end to a sink end of different RC networks is different, the effective capacitance number of the RC networks is also different, and therefore, the characteristic parameters need to be repeatedly optimized and adjusted in the process of training a model to determine the number of characteristic data, and the method comprises the following steps: when the feature engineering is carried out, the size of the feature data is required to be unified, and the number of nodes on a path from a source end to a sink end of the RC network is selected as a feature parameter: for RC networks with the number of nodes larger than the unified value of the characteristic parameters, only the number of the required nodes from the source end is needed to be selected; for RC networks where the number of nodes is less than the unified value of the characteristic parameter, then a padding of 0 is required. In order to build a machine learning model of the predicted line delay, we gradually increase the number of nodes on the path from the source end to the sink end of the RC network, from the minimum number of nodes to the maximum number of nodes, in each round of cross verification, compare the errors between the predicted value of the line delay of the sink node in the verification set and the SPICE simulation measured value in the line delay standard sample set, and select the node number when the predicted line delay of the sink node in the verification set and the SPICE simulation measured delay error of the sink node in the verification set are minimum as the unified value of the special parameters.
