Methods and tools for designing integrated circuits with auto-pipelining capabilities |
摘要 |
<p>A circuit designer may use computer-aided design (CAD) tools to implement an integrated circuit design. The CAD tools may include auto-pipelining capabilities to improve the performance of the integrated circuit design. Auto-pipelining may modify the number of pipeline registers in a path within a given range. A description of the integrated circuit design may include different implementation alternatives of a path each having a different number of pipeline registers, and the CAD tools may select one of these implementation alternatives. The CAD tools may further evaluate the performance of a particular implementation alternative and iteratively select a different implementation alternative until a given objective is met. The CAD tool may update a test environment according to the selected implementation alternative once the objective is met and validate the selected implementation alternative using the updated test environment.</p> |
