Thank you @Matt Liberty
Q1:
In MPW-8 I have a wavepipelined RISC-V, using timing driven buffer insertion on the netlist to achieve a certain minimal length constraint per path. I do STA on the layout as well (shortest setup), but I would love to do a multicorner backend STA with OpenSTA as well, in particular showing the shortest setup path.
Q2:
AAAAAAh, Awesome. Very nice.
Don’t want to be too pedantic, but I would argue that you NOT only need a single path per endpoint for the wall-of-slack. I think OpenSTA might be limited (don't get me wrong, it's already fantastic) in showing “the complete slack distribution per endpoint” and therefore the shortest setup path as well.
