This invention outlines a method for designing complex computer chips by representing their structure as a network of interconnected parts. It then applies a set of predefined changes or optimizations to these parts, working from the overall design down to the smallest details. One specific way this can be done involves searching for identical patterns within the chip's structure.
Why it matters: Filed before modern computational power and advanced graph algorithms could fully realize its potential for handling the exponentially increasing complexity of chip designs. Today's computing resources make such sophisticated hierarchical design automation more feasible and necessary.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
