Detailed and precise hierarchical design planning is essential to achieving closure on large designs. In this article we describe a new hierarchical design flow and its usage on a 3 million-gate chip.

With rising SoC design complexity, hierarchical backend design closure has become almost ubiquitous across the industry. Block and sub-block partitioning allow designers to exploit engineering and ...

The design complexity of sub-micron designs due to ever growing huge number of gates and interactions has made it difficult for physical design tools to handle the physical synthesis or placement and ...

With Windows 7's release just around the corner, now's a great time to get your PC ready for the new operating system. First step: separate your data onto a dedicated partition. A partition is what ...

When you acquire a new business computer, you may see multiple drive letters such as C, D and E while viewing items in Windows Explorer. Although these drive letters may designate physical internal or ...

Is there a way in 2003 to use different disk partitions on the same shared disk array as separate physical disk resources? <BR><BR>My issue is this. I'm setting up a new 2003 cluster, and I have an HP ...

All these terms i.e., partition, volume, and logical drive are data storage units. But there are differences that we have tried to cover in this post below. Let’s learn about them one by one. A ...

Partitioning, a technology used in mainframe computers, is making its way into mid- and high-end Unix systems where corporate users employ it to isolate and protect applications from each other, ...

As usual, this blog post comes out of something I have been working on (read as: struggling with) for the past few days. The purpose is to give an overview of disk partitioning under Linux, ...
