Layout-specific classification and prioritization of recommended rules violations

A computer usable program product comprising a computer usable storage medium including computer usable code for classifying and prioritizing a set of recommended rule (RR) violations in an integrated circuit (IC) design, the computer usable code comprising:

• computer usable code for receiving the set of RR violations;
• computer usable code for receiving a layout corresponding to the IC design;
• computer usable code for selecting a set of features in the layout;
• computer usable code for selecting a classification model corresponding to the set of features;
• computer usable code for classifying, using the set of features and the classification model, the first RR violation into a classification from a set of classifications;
• and
• computer usable code for prioritizing the classification in an order of priority such that the first RR violation in the classification is recommended for remedying in the order of priority.

A data processing system for classifying and prioritizing a set of recommended rule (RR) violations in an integrated circuit (IC) design, the data processing system comprising:

• a storage device including a storage medium, wherein the storage device stores computer usable program code;
• and
• a processor, wherein the processor executes the computer usable program code, and wherein the computer usable program code comprises:
• computer usable code for receiving the set of RR violations;
• computer usable code for receiving a layout corresponding to the IC design;
• computer usable code for selecting a set of features in the layout;
• computer usable code for selecting a classification model corresponding to the set of features;
• computer usable code for classifying, using the set of features and the classification model, the first RR violation into a classification from a set of classifications;
• and
• computer usable code for prioritizing the classification in an order of priority such that the first RR violation in the classification is recommended for remedying in the order of priority.
