Overview
As designs become more complex and FPGA densities increase, it's important to know how your tools can reduce compile times for faster timing closure. Incremental compilation, a feature which enables advanced flows to achieve fMAX gains, targets specific design areas while preserving performance in the areas of the design that haven't been changed.
An introduction to incremental compilation, this net seminar describes how to use it to shorten overall design time.
You'll learn how to:
- Use a top-down incremental design approach to cut compile times
- Automatically generate scripts for a partitioned design to eliminate overlapping constraints using a bottom-up flow
- Shorten debugging cycles by recompiling only the debug logic portion
- Reduce compile times while preserving performance
Who Should Attend
- Engineering Management
- FPGA Designers
- ASIC Designers
