What’s the fun in ‘in time’…

  Inherent in PD engineers to just meet the setup time without violating the hold time 🙂 also ask for some waiver on setup uncertainty but never violate hold 🙂 Metal DRCs can be left out for presentation time let the base get through... Start the gds out while the final sta and PV runs are still on... Submitting in time is an NP problem for Engineers in general and PD engineers in particular... so when the time is 'on time' they wrap it up with bare minimum aspects met and stop the algo... 90% of timing violations converge in the eco stages...the real work starts with the war room or the dungeon... But then what's the fun 'in time'..:the fun is in the tie breaker./.the super over...the Argentina scoring to level and more in the last of the extra time... The real fun is in the last picosecond...

आलसी लोग कारणजन्मा होते हैं।

  आलस्य महिमा आलस्य प्राचीन काल से ही अस्तित्व में है। न्यूज़ीलैंड के प्रसिद्ध वैज्ञानिक बिभा नुप्र सादू ने वर्षों के शोध के बाद बताया कि डायनासोर इसलिए विलुप्त हो गए क्योंकि उन्होंने आलस्य छोड़कर अधिक सक्रिय जीवन अपनाया। सदैव ध्यानमग्न रहने वाले भगवान सदाशिव के तेज में स्थित परम आनंद का ही एक अंश यह आलस्य है, ऐसा प्रसिद्ध प्रवचनकार, तत्त्वचिंतक श्री श्री श्री रापोलु श्रीकांताचार्य ने कहा। योगशास्त्र में “आलस्यासन” का उल्लेख प्राचीन काल से ही मिलता है। जिस प्रकार शवासन में शरीर को पूर्ण विश्राम मिलता है, उसी प्रकार आलस्यासन में शरीर और मन दोनों को संपूर्ण विश्राम प्राप्त होता है। इससे शरीर के सभी अंग अधिक समय तक स्वस्थ और टिकाऊ बने रहते हैं, ऐसा प्रसिद्ध योग विशेषज्ञ श्री रंगा साई ने बताया। विश्व के सभी लोगों को अपने दैनिक जीवन में आलस्य को एक अभिन्न अंग बनाना चाहिए। इससे समाज के कल्याण में अत्यंत बड़ा योगदान मिलेगा। सभी आलसी लोग एक मंच पर आकर आलस्य के लाभों का व्यापक प्रचार करें और लोगों में जागरूकता फैलाएँ, ऐसा संकल्प लेने वाले प्रसिद्ध समाजसेवी आलस्यब्रह्म श्री ज्ञानेश्व...

* आळशी लोक कारणजन्मी असतात

  Here is the Marathi translation, preserving the humorous, satirical tone of the original. आळस आळस हा प्राचीन काळापासून अस्तित्वात आहे. डायनासोरांनी आळस सोडून अधिक सक्रिय जीवन जगायला सुरुवात केली, म्हणूनच ते नामशेष झाले, असा निष्कर्ष न्यूझीलंडमधील प्रसिद्ध शास्त्रज्ञ बिभा नुप्र सादू यांनी अनेक वर्षांच्या संशोधनानंतर मांडला आहे. सदैव ध्यानमग्न असलेल्या भगवान सदाशिवांच्या तेजातील परमानंदाचाच एक अंश म्हणजे हा आळस होय, असे प्रसिद्ध प्रवचनकार, तत्त्वज्ञ श्री श्री श्री रापोलू श्रीकांताचार्य यांनी सांगितले. योगशास्त्रात “आळसासन” याचा उल्लेख प्राचीन काळापासून आहे. जसे शवासनात शरीर पूर्णपणे विश्रांती घेते, तसेच आळसासनात शरीर आणि मन दोन्ही संपूर्ण विश्रांती घेतात. त्यामुळे शरीरातील सर्व अवयव अधिक काळ टिकाऊ राहतात, असे प्रसिद्ध योगतज्ज्ञ श्री रंगा साई यांनी स्पष्ट केले. जगातील प्रत्येकाने आपल्या दैनंदिन जीवनात आळसाचा अविभाज्य भाग म्हणून स्वीकार करावा. त्यामुळे समाजकल्याणाला मोठी चालना मिळेल. सर्व आळशी लोकांनी एकत्र येऊन आळसाचे फायदे व्यापकपणे लोकांपर्यंत पोहोचवावेत आणि जनजागृती करावी, ...

“આળસુઓ કારણજન્મા હોય છે.”

ગુજરાતી અનુવાદ (હાસ્યરસ જાળવીને): આળસ તો પ્રાચીન કાળથી જ અસ્તિત્વમાં છે. ન્યૂઝીલેન્ડના પ્રખ્યાત વૈજ્ઞાનિક બિભા નુપ્ર સાદુ એ લાંબા સંશોધન બાદ જણાવ્યું છે કે ડાયનોસોરો આળસ છોડીને વધુ સક્રિય બની ગયા, એટલે જ તેઓ લુપ્ત થઈ ગયા! સદા ધ્યાનમાં લીન રહેનારા સદાશિવના તેજમાં રહેલા પરમાનંદનો જ એક અંશ આ આળસ છે, એમ પ્રખ્યાત પ્રવચનકાર અને તત્ત્વચિંતક શ્રી શ્રી શ્રી રાપોલુ શ્રીકાંતાચાર્યજી એ જણાવ્યું. યોગશાસ્ત્રમાં “આળસાસન”નો ઉલ્લેખ પ્રાચીન સમયથી જ છે. જેમ શવાસનમાં શરીરને સંપૂર્ણ આરામ મળે છે, તેમ આળસાસનમાં શરીર અને મન બંનેને સંપૂર્ણ વિશ્રામ મળે છે. તેના પરિણામે શરીરના તમામ અંગો વધુ લાંબા સમય સુધી ટકાઉ રહે છે, એમ પ્રખ્યાત યોગ નિષ્ણાત શ્રી રંગ સાઈજી એ સમજાવ્યું. વિશ્વના લોકો પોતાના દૈનિક જીવનમાં આળસને એક અભિન્ન ભાગ બનાવે તો સમાજના કલ્યાણમાં મોટો ફાળો મળશે. તમામ આળસુ લોકો એક મંચ પર આવી આળસના લાભોનો વ્યાપક પ્રચાર કરે અને જનજાગૃતિ લાવે એવો સંકલ્પ પ્રખ્યાત સમાજસેવક બદ્ધકબ્રહ્મ શ્રી જ્ઞાનેશ્વર રેડ્ડી એ આર.ટી.સી. કોલોનીમાં યોજાયેલી સભામાં ઉત્સાહપૂર્વક વ્યક્ત કર્યો. “અરે ઓ… હું એક વાર ઊભો થઈ જાઉં એટલે જ...

Handling a baby and PD experience

 A new born baby demands continuous, restless days and nights to the extent that becomes the norm and the parents forget the ‘normal’ days. As a PD engineer with days and weeks and months of restlessness and night outs with new rtls, timing closure, ECOs is well trained to handle this. Giving a short run and a fix and waiting for the update timing and report timing and taking a few minutes nap is akin to the baby sleeping for a few minutes windows and waking up all energetic in the nights…the crawling baby or a just learnt-to-walk baby goes anywhere pulling anything on the way with a lot of energy demands the parent to be continuously vigilant, keep putting the baby back to safety…a small distraction will create a lot of rework as the baby spills the milk or similar things causing lot of rework…a small mistake in the settings or inputs or files creates a lot of rework in PD too…there is absolutely no idea what the baby wants and all it does is to cry…only the mother knows what it n...

Daddy's Day Out

 There is so much we learnt from our father being with him, looking at how he worked, with so much dedication to his bank, to his work, honesty, responsibility, how he handled everyday issues...while our mother took care of everything else at home and of the family, a typical day during our Dad's working period is nothing short of a thriller movie...Dad needs to be there at the bank on time as one set of the key keys are with him and they cannot afford the public to be waiting for the bank to open even a few minutes late...that being the setup time to be met, the distance to cover with the traffic still had quite an uncertainty...while the start time of the bank is to be met, the end time hold time is quite long...coming home very late every day, the next day starts slightly late and then there is a heavy push to meet the timing...Eenadu needs to be read fully...and any interesting political event or a good article (there was no dearth of those then) will add to the OCV...one stron...

Relationships are async clock interfaces

  A relation between any two individuals is an asynchronous clock domain interface with two different clocks on either side. Very rarely the interface is synchronous. The power domains, voltages, signoff corners can be different. Each following a different protocol. To make it work still, a suitable synchroniser logic needs to be built as a bridge with sufficient depth. One may be running at high voltage at some point but Level shifters need to be added to get along. One may be down, power gated sometimes and isolation cells may be needed with appropriate controls. Retention helps to maintain the relationship. The interfacing logic still need to be placed closer with max delay constraints and skew and latency requirements so they listen to each other still. The setup has a cushion but hold with a lot of patience need to be closed at cross corners covering the extremes. Temperatures may rise and cold wars may arise but hold needs to be closed to maintain the functionality. It should...
