1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying a first open path in a microprocessor design;
simulating at least one modification to a design of the first open path;
calculating an updated arrival time at a first pin based on the at least one simulated modification; and
calculating a first updated path time based on the updated arrival time.

Abstract
A first open path in a microprocessor design is identified. At least one modification to a design of that first open path is simulated. An updated arrival time at a pin is calculated based on the simulated modification or modifications. An updated path time is then calculated based on the updated arrival time.
