Abstract

A technique for performing an analysis of a logic design (that includes a native memory array embodied in a netlist) includes detecting an initial transient behavior in the logic design as embodied in the netlist. The technique also includes determining a duration of the initial transient behavior and gathering reduction information on the logic design based on the initial transient behavior. The netlist is then modified based on the reduction information.
