Method and apparatus for performing multiple stage physical synthesis

摘要

A method for designing a system on a target device includes entering the system. The system is synthesized. The system is mapped. The system is placed on the target device. The system is routed. Physical synthesis is performed on the system immediately after more than one of the entering, synthesizing, mapping, placing and routing procedures.

1. A method for generating a design for a system to be implemented on a target device, comprising:
synthesizing the design for the system; mapping the design for the system onto programmable resources on the target device; placing the design for the system; routing the design for the system; performing a first physical synthesis on the design for the system to be implemented on the target device, using a physical synthesis unit implemented by a processor, immediately after and separately from one of the synthesizing, mapping, placing, and routing procedures; and performing a second physical synthesis on the design for the system immediately after and separately from another one of the synthesizing, placing, and routing procedures.
