Abstract

Encountering the necessity of an efficient graphic approach for wave-pipelines design, we have studied a wave map. This dynamically shows instantaneous wave shapes on an actual circuit design space. The point to draw the shape of waves is to sophisticatedly make use of a timing report and GUI (graphic user interface). Since the wave map exhaustively represents the overall behavior of waves, it is very useful for detecting and preventing waves interference or collision. Thus, the wave map is a fragrant means that strongly supports wave-pipelines design.
