Timing

Description

Updates timing for the current design.

Update the timing data to reflect any timing constraints that were added to the design since the timing engine was last run. This command updates the in-memory view of the timing database, without incurring the time of a full timing analysis.

Timing is automatically updated by commands that change timing or need updated timing information, such as the report_timing command. The update_timing command lets you manually trigger the timing update to insure the latest constraints are applied to the timing engine.

The update_timing command uses an incremental analysis approach by default, which updates only out-of-date information, to reduce process and analysis time. You can also specify a complete or full update to insure a comprehensive review of timing data in the design. However, to avoid long timing analysis run times, you should use the -full option only when you need to.

Arguments

-full - (Optional) Perform a complete timing analysis rather than the default incremental update of the timing data.

-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the set_msg_config command.

Examples

The following example performs a full update of the in-memory timing data:

update_timing -full
