Graph-based physical synthesis
- The essence of the graph-based approach is that pre-existing wires, switches, and placement sites used for routing an FPGA can be represented as a detailed routing resource graph
- The notion of distance then changes to a measure of delay and availability of wires
- Graph-based physical synthesis technology merges optimization, placement, and routing to generate a fully placed and physically optimized netlist, providing rapid timing closure and a 5 percent to 20 percent timing improvement
- Automatically moving registers within combinatorial logic in order to balance timing delay and improve circuit performance up to an additional 20 percent Quality of Results
- Simulator-like visibility into a live FPGA
- Provides a rapid method of finding functional errors in FPGA designs by providing simulator-like visibility into operating FPGA hardware
- Integrated debugging software, based upon technology from the Identify product, allows designers to annotate signals and conditions they want to monitor directly in their RTL code
