Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to a computing device. The computing device may include a mapper module that receives a user configuration input of a destination corner for building a destination corner database. The mapper module may include a decision making engine that decides fabrication parameters for building the destination corner database based on the verified user configuration input and memory compiler metadata. The computing device may include a builder module that performs a simulation of the destination corner based on the fabrication parameters, collects simulation results data associated with the simulation, and builds the destination corner database for the destination corner based on the simulation results data and source corner data. The computing device may include a memory compiler that accesses the destination corner database and generates memory instance structures and their electronic digital automation (EDA) views for the destination corner based on the destination corner database.
