Abstract:
1. A method for implementing abstract parameterized cells (pcells) for an electronic circuit design, comprising: creating, by using a processor, one or more abstract parameterized cell variants that correspond to layout parameterized cell variants, wherein the one or more abstract parameterized cell variants are converted from the layout parameterized cell variants, where geometries of the layout parameterized cell variants are turned into simplified obstructions; storing the one or more abstract parameterized cell variants that correspond to the layout parameterized cell variants in a parameterized cell cache, wherein the parameterized cell cache comprises a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that is either persistent or non-persistent; and performing an operation with an electronic design automation tool that implements dynamic remastering, in which the electronic design automation tool performs dynamic remastering from the layout parameterized cell variant to the abstract parameterized cell variant.
