This file defines the interface to the slope delay model. In the slope delay model, a transistor's effective resistance is parameterized by the slope on the gate waveform, the size of the transistor, and the load the transistor is driving. Full details of the model are given in the paper by Ousterhout.

Given a stage, this procedure calculates the delay through the stage using the slope model. The time value in the stage is filled in with the time when the output changes, and the edgeSpeed value in the stage is filled in with the output edge speed.
