Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method of designing a configurable integrated circuit (“IC”) with several configurable circuits. The method receives a design having several sets of operations for the configurable circuits to perform in different operational cycles. For at least a first set of operations that has a start operation and an end operation, the method assigns a particular operation in the first set to a first operational cycle based at least partially on the position of the particular operation with respect to the start and end operations.

21. A method of mapping an integrated circuit (“
- IC”
) design to an IC, the design comprising a plurality of components, the method comprising;a) for a component on multiple signal paths, computing a normalized metric value, the normalized metric value derived from a position of the component along a first signal path and a position of the component along a second signal path; and b) based on the normalized metric value, assigning the component to an operational cycle. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
