Abstract:Multi-cycle paths (MCPs) are commonly used by designers as an efficient way to relax the timing constraints on eligible paths in their designs. MCP directs synthesis tools to relax the optimization on the specified paths. The MCP constraints are widely used in the Register Transfer Level (RTL) designs and are propagated to downstream tools. With the evolution of high level synthesis (HLS) tools, design entry and the constraints have to be specified at a higher level of abstraction. In addition, majority of the… Show more
