Regression location: ut/tests/ut/vp/ir/resistance
Regression command 1: qa_report_pg_resistance
Regression command 2: qa_report_detail_regression
Regression command 3(obsolete): qa_analyze_power_network res golden_res_file test_res_file

Min-path resistance

New usage

analy江e—pg—resistance -net VDD  [-generate—supply—location (hidden option)]
髻 by default, 10 worst instance will be reported. if -number—of—worst set to 0 or negative, report all

髻 will show up heat map in G·r, power min-path, ground min-path, total min-path will display
髻 if a cell is not connected to power/ground, the color annotation will be skiped. rn the total re sistance calculation, the un-connected net res is regarded as 江ero.

Advanced method: (New engine from Xu, after 20220310)

See: http://10.30.200.21:8088/issues/7418
first phase changes:
1.ir rc_multi_threads 1: valid in "ir rc_mode 2", changed to on by default
2.ir rc_keep_pg_only 0: valid in "ir rc_mode 2", new, off (high accuracy) by default, will be on (medium accuracy, aligned with RH, equivalent to internal param "ir rc_ignore_mode 0x248") controled by other new coming ir params (like "ir accuracy_level high", will be followed up by Jun)
3.ir rc_mode 0/1/2: 0 existing auto-mode, will be retired, 1 forcedly unitR/C, 2 exact RC extraction like signal (will be on by default for signoff VP, followed up by Jun), no further change for now.

todo list:
1.px dont_extract_cap 1: on by default for static IR-drop analysis if "ir rc_mode 2" is set
2.new ir param (e.g., accuracy_level medium [ I low I high]), to be discussed with Jun to turn on below params:

low:
ir rc_mode 1

medium:
ir rc_mode 2
ir rc_keep_pg_only 1

high:
ir rc_mode 2
ir rc_keep_pg_only 0
3.change default value for below two params:
3.1param "ir rc_keep_pg_only_tv 1" : change default from 0 to 1 for thickness variation.
3.2param "ir rc_keep_pg_only_cap 1": change default from 0 to 1 for cap weighting factor.

Advanced method: (Default method in EMIR Obsoleted after 20220310)

Example: if a wire start from 2327.765 to 2330.39, width is 0.15 micron. Run below command to check rc engine

about spef

判叩 spef DDDD叩 lpe::HasFileRC

  1. import rlc model by (From Xu Luo):

after source .rlc file, you shall set the command "set—parasitic—condition cmax" for l.PF module to use this cmax model.
besides, you may report pg rc by setting -length/-width,

e.g., "report—pg—rc -layer M1 -length 10 -width 1" instead of "report—pg—rc -layer M1",

as empty -length/-width is equivalent as 江ero length/width for the command.
