Abstract

A plurality of multi-corner multimode (MCMM) databases are accessed, wherein at least one of the plurality of MCMM databases corresponds to a first optimization scenario, and at least one of the plurality of MCMM databases corresponds to a second optimization scenario. A first optimization move is performed on paths in the first optimization scenario. The first optimization move is verified using GBA on paths in the second optimization scenario to determine that the first optimization move does not cause timing violations outside an MCMM database associated with the first optimization scenario.
