13.11.9.5 Bottleneck Options

Cost Type: Select the cost type that SmartTime will include in the Bottleneck Report. By default, path count is selected. You can select one of the following two items from the drop-down list:

  • Path Count: This cost type associates the severity of the bottleneck to the count of violating/critical paths that traverse the instance. This is the default.
  • Path Cost: This cost type associates the severity of the bottleneck to the sum of the timing violations for the violating/critical paths that traverse the instance.

Limit the number of paths per section to: Specify the maximum number of paths per set type that SmartTime will include per section in the report. The default maximum number of paths reported is 100.

Limit the number of parallel paths per section to: For each expanded path, specify the maximum number of parallel paths that SmartTime will include in the report. Only cells that lie on these violating paths are reported. The default number of parallel paths is 1.

Limit the number of reported instances: Specify the maximum number of cells that SmartTime will include per section in the report. The default number of cells is 10.
