Abstract

See full text

A method, programming product, and/or system is disclosed for identifying flaws in integrated circuits, e.g., processors, that includes: selecting from a list of a plurality of timing issues in an integrated circuit, where each timing issue on the list is represented by one or more VHDL code lines, a particular timing issue to investigate; tracing back the selected one or more VHDL code lines, corresponding to the selected particular timing issue to investigate, to one or more selected physical design VHDL (PD-VHDL) code lines; logically navigating across the one or more selected PD-VHDL code lines to one or more corresponding normalized VHDL (NVDHL) code lines; and tracing back the one or more corresponding NHVDL code lines to one or more short-hand VHDL (SVHDL) code lines to identify one or more code lines, written by a code designer, responsible for the particular timing issue being investigated.
