Abstract:
1. A method comprising: performing a simulation on an integrated circuit design using a computerized simulator machine by applying a first value to a first variable and a second value to a second variable of said simulation to produce a first matrix corner simulation value; repeating said simulation using said computerized simulator machine and using different values for said first variable and said second variable to produce a second matrix corner simulation value, a third matrix corner simulation value, and a fourth matrix corner simulation value; creating a matrix using said computerized simulator machine, wherein said matrix has said first matrix corner simulation value, said second matrix corner simulation value, said third matrix corner simulation value, and said fourth matrix corner simulation value; producing simulation values of only all interior nodes of said matrix that lie along any part of a diagonal line between said first matrix corner simulation value and said fourth matrix corner simulation value; and interpolating all remaining values within said matrix based upon existing simulation values within said matrix using said computerized simulator machine.
