SPEF Stands for Standard Parasitic Extraction Format.

SPEF file is generated by parasitic extractors like CALIBRE XRC.SPEF is fed to STA tool to do post layout Static Timing Analysis.

SDF stands for Standard Delay Format

SDF is widely used for transferring the Delay information between tools.Normally SDF is used in Pre Layout Static Timing Analysis.


SPEF file describes spice netlist and RC infromation.
After running LVS(LVS correctly), you can generate SPEF file from RC extraction tool(Xcalibre,Calibre-XRC--Mentor Star-RCXT--synopsys) or APR tool.

As for SDF file, it describes cell delay(from synthesis library) and interconnect delay(from SPEF file).
You can generate it from APR tool and PrimeTime(STA analysis tool).
If you want to get accuracy SDF file to do STA analysis.
I recommend you can use rc extraction tool to generate SPEF file and load into PrimeTime to generate SDF file to do STA analysis. Static timing analysis is a critical step in design of any digitalintegrated circuit. Technology and design trends have ledto significant increase in environmental and process variationswhich need to be incorporated in static timing analysis.This paper presents a new, efficient and accurate block-basedstatic timing analysis technique considering uncertainty.This new method is more efficient as its modelsarrival times as cumulative density functions (CDFs) anddelays as probability functions (PDFs). Computationallysimple expression are presented for basic static timing operations.The techniques are valid for any form of the probabilitydistribution, though the use piecewise linear modelingof CDFs is highlighted in this paper. Reconvergent fanoutsare handled using a new technique that avoids path tracing.Variable accuracy timing analysis can be performed byvarying the modeling accuracy of the piecewise linearmodel. Regular and statistical timing on different parts ofthe circuit can be incorporated into a single timing analysisrun. Accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method is demonstratedfor various ISCAS benchmark circuits.

Perhaps -tcl_list can also be used. Traverse the data in tcl list.

set paths [lrange $tarpt 1 end]

               if {$attr=="Beginpoint"} {

                  set startPoint [lindex $val 0]

           }

格式: sed -i "s/查找字段/替換字段/g" `grep 查找字段 -rl 路徑`

linux sed 批量替換多個文件中的字符串

sed -i "s/oldstring/newstring/g" `grep oldstring -rl yourdir`

例如：替換/home下所有文件中的www.admin99.net為admin99.net

sed -i "s/www.admin99.net/admin99.net/g" `grep www.admin99.net -rl /home`

1. vi 方法
參見vim用戶手冊26.

*26.3*  改動多個文件

假定你有個變量名為 "x_cnt" 而你要把他改為 "x_counter"。
這個變量在多個 C 文件都被用到了。你需要在所有文件中作此改動。你得這么做。
   把所有相關文件放進參數列表:

        :args *.c

這個命令會找到所有的 C 文件并編輯其中的第一個。
現在你可以對所有這些文件執行置換命令:

        :argdo %s/\<x_cnt\>/x_counter/ge | update

命令 ":argdo" 把另一個命令當作其參數。而后者將對參數列表內所有的文件執行。
   作為參數的替換命令 "%s" 作用于所有文本行。它用 "\<x_cnt\>" 來查找"x_cnt"。
 "\<" 和 "\>" 用來指定僅匹配那些完整的詞，而不是 "px_cnt" 或"x_cnt2"。

   替換命令的標記中包含 "g"，用以置換同一行文本內出現的所有的匹配詞 "x_cnt"。
標記 "e" 用于避免因文件中找不到 "x_cnt" 而出現錯誤信息。
否則 ":argdo" 命令就會在遇到第一個找不到 "x_cnt" 的文件時中斷。
   字符 "|" 分隔兩條命令。后面的 "update" 命令將那些有改動的文件存盤。
如果沒有 "x_cnt" 被改成 "x_counter"，這個命令什么也不做。

還有一個 ":windo" 命令，用于在所有視窗內執行其參數所規定的命令。
以及 ":bufdo"命令，對所有緩沖執行其參數所規定的命令。
使用中要小心，因為你在緩沖列表中的文件數量可能超過你能想像的。
請用 ":buffers" 命令 (或 ":ls") 來檢查緩沖列表。

2. perl方法
可以在命令行下進行替換，
仍然以vi方法中的例子進行講解，把c文件中的"x_cnt" 改為 "x_counter"。
可以執行以下命令：
find . -name '*.c' -print0 | xargs -0 perl -pi -e 's/x_cnt/x_counter/g'

xargs 把find命令的結果作為perl的參數。
find的參數-print0和xargs的參數-0是防止文件名中有空格或新行造成錯誤，可以man xargs獲得幫助。

注意: 如果替換的字符包括 ()[]/"'!? 等等這樣的特殊字符，你必須在字符前加上反斜杠\ 。

這種方法的好處是不用啟動編輯器，比較迅速。缺點是容易出現不想要的替換，例如：把px_cnt替換成了px_counter。

3. sed
仍以上面的例子講解：
find . -name "*.c" -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/x_cnt/x_counter/g'
優缺點和perl方法相同。

Hi

Can anyone help add access right?

ERROR: you have not been registered with the scratch setup pls email sjfarm

I have added you in scratch storage, please review the usage info as attached and following policy.

 

1) There is no high-availability setup - data can become unavailable.

2) There is no data backup - data can't be recovered after deletion.

3) It should not be used for critical data and there should not be escalation on scratch data issue.

4) There are specific retention periods and data will be deleted upon expiration.

5) Users should not run UNIX "rm" to delete their data, but rather run "scratch release dirName" to release the data for admin's daily collection.

6) users should frequently release their unused dirs to help preserve the space.

7) Users should act properly and promptly upon notification email from the scratch admin
