Abstract: A logic block can be relocated without recompilation from a first area to a second area on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) if the pattern of fabric tiles in the second area is the same as the pattern of fabric tiles in the first area, and if the two areas have the same dimensions. The design system runs synthesis, placement, and routing on a partition of a design at a first location, exports that partition to a persistent on-disk database, imports one or multiple copies of the partition into a larger design, and moves one or more of the copies from the first area to a target area in the larger design. The compatibility of the second area may be identified based on fabric tile signatures of the first area and the second area.

Abstract: A method, rules and directives engine, and a computer program product that simplifies the design of semiconductor products. Starting with an application set which is a partially manufactured semiconductor platform that is correct-by-construction, as a chip designer inserts her/his own designs into the platform, a system of rules and directives check each input to ensure that naming conventions are followed, that the input is compatible with all other components to which it is connected, than the input has the necessary and appropriate power, signals levels, clocks, memories. As a component is generated from a configurable transistor fabric that is part of the application set, the parameters of the configured component are inserted and checked for the power, signal, clocking, and memory compatibility, e.g., I/O buffers are verified for proper signal levels, differential signals, power plane compatibility, etc.
