Abstract
A system and method for performing multi-mode multi-corner (MMMC) analysis such that multiple views or conditions can be analyzed together to improve runtime by taking advantage of common steps of analysis in different corners. Views are clustered based on their similarity to one another to take advantage of calculations and other tasks that may be shared between views during timing analysis. Then, during timing analysis, each net in the design is analyzed for each view.
