Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for to generation of dynamic design flows for integrated circuits. For example, a method may include accessing a design flow configuration data structure, wherein the design flow configuration data structure is encoded in a tool control language; based on the design flow configuration data structure, selecting multiple flowmodules from a set of flowmodules, wherein each flowmodule provides an application programming interface, in the tool control language, to a respective electronic design automation tool; based on the design flow configuration data structure, generating a design flow as a directed acyclic graph including the selected flowmodules as vertices; and generating an output integrated circuit design data structure, based on one or more input integrated circuit design data structures, using the design flow to control the respective electronic design automation tools of the selected flowmodules.
