Subject: (ESNUG 280 #7) Need Help Doing Synopsys-HSPICE Correlation

> First of all, thanks for all the great information presented in the ESUG

John,

I think "report_timing -true -justify" is supposed to do what you're asking
for but it's pretty worthless for multipliers and other complex circuits.

John,

This is easy IF you have a DesignTime license, otherwise it could be real
difficult.  Try report_timing -true.  This searches the critical path for
the input vector meeded to exercise the path -- pruning those paths that
cannot be exercised.  It reports the vector for the most critical true
path that it finds.
