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 designing a system on a target device, the method comprising:
mapping a system on the target device; placing the system on the target device; and performing physical synthesis on the system subsequent to the mapping procedure and prior to the placing procedure by performing circuit transformations on a circuit in the system to reduce an area required for implementing the circuit, wherein at least one of the mapping, placing, and performing is performed by a processor.
