Partitioning and routing multi-SLR FPGA for emulation and prototyping

摘要

A computer-implemented method for configuring a hardware verification system includes receiving, in the computer, a first data representative of a first design. The method further includes performing a first mapping of the first data to generate a second data in accordance with a first cost function and one or more first delays each associated with a different one of a first multitude of paths. One of the first multitude of paths includes a critical path characterized by a second delay. The method further includes performing a second mapping of the second data to generate a third data in accordance with a second cost function and a multitude of third delays each associated with a different one of a second multitude of paths and the second delay. The method further includes compiling the third data for configuring the hardware verification system.
