Method and apparatus for performing post-placement functional decomposition for field programmable gate arrays

摘要

A method for designing a system on a target device utilizing field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) includes synthesizing a design for the system. Components in the design are mapped onto resources on the target device. Placement locations are determined for the components on the target device. The design for the system is restructured after placement locations for the components are determined to improve timing for the system.
