A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for synchronizing a main thread and a slave thread executing on a processor system are disclosed. For example, the method includes the following elements: transitioning the slave thread from a sleep state to a spin-lock state in response to a wake-up message from the main thread; transitioning the slave thread out of the spin-lock state to process a first work unit from the main thread; determining, at the main thread, an elapsed time period until receipt of a second work unit for the slave thread; transitioning the slave thread to the spin-lock state if the elapsed time period satisfies a threshold time period; and transitioning the slave thread to the sleep state if the elapsed time period does not satisfy the threshold time period.

A method is described that includes: determining that nets of the circuit design comprise overlap, where the overlap indicates that at least two of the nets of the circuit design use a same routing resource; dividing the nets with overlap among a plurality of buckets, where for each bucket, a net of the bucket does not overlap any other net in the bucket; sequentially processing each bucket by unrouting and rerouting, via at least one processor, nets in the bucket; and storing routing information specifying routes for nets of the circuit design.

In one embodiment, a method for routing of a circuit design netlist is provided. A processing cost is determined for each net in the netlist. A plurality of regions are defined for the target device such that the total processing costs of nets are balanced between the plurality of regions. Concurrent with routing one or more nets of a first one of the plurality of regions, one or more nets are routed in at least one other of the plurality of regions. Synchronization and subsequent routing are performed for unrouted nets of the netlist.

A method is provided for routing a circuit design netlist. Nets of the netlist are grouped into a plurality of sub-netlists. For each sub-netlist, nets of the sub-netlist are routed as a function of congestion between nets of the sub-netlist. Congestion between nets of other sub-netlists in the plurality of sub-netlists is not taken into account. If two or more nets of the netlist are routed through the same routing resource, a global congestion history data set is updated to describe congestion between all nets in the netlist, and the two or more nets of the netlist are unrouted. The two or more nets are each rerouted as a function of the global congestion history data set and congestion between nets of the same sub-netlist as the net.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method of implementing a circuit design that includes an initial network within a programmable logic device can include generating a first choice network from the circuit design according to a first synthesis technique and determining a placement for the first choice network. At least a second choice network can be generated from the first choice network according to a second synthesis technique. A placement for the second choice network can be determined. The placement for the first choice network can be compared with the placement for the second choice network. A placement and corresponding choice network can be selected according to the comparison, and output.
