Method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for evaluating clock tree

A method for evaluating a clock tree, comprising:

• automatically determining a candidate clock tree structure for a clock tree based on a set of structural parameters for a plurality of portions of the clock tree, each structural parameter of the set of structural parameters being configured to define a structure of one of the plurality of portions;
• obtaining circuit configuration information associated with the candidate clock tree structure, the circuit configuration information indicating connection relationships of circuit units in the candidate clock tree structure;
• and
• determining a clock performance of the candidate clock tree structure based at least on the circuit configuration information.

An electronic device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions for execution by the at least one processor, the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, causing the electronic device to perform acts comprising:
• automatically determining a candidate clock tree structure for a clock tree based on a set of structural parameters for a plurality of portions of the clock tree, each structural parameter of the set of structural parameters being configured to define a structure of one of the plurality of portions;
• obtaining circuit configuration information associated with the candidate clock tree structure, the circuit configuration information indicating connection relationships of circuit units in the candidate clock tree structure;
• and
• determining a clock performance of the candidate clock tree structure based at least on the circuit configuration information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored, the computer program being executable by a processor to perform acts comprising:
