1. A method of designing an integrated circuit (“

  • IC”

    ) with a plurality of configurable circuits, the method comprising;

    a) receiving a design comprising a plurality of sets of operations for the configurable circuits to perform in different operational cycles; and

    b) for at least a first set of operations that has a start operation and an end operation, assigning an operation in the first set to a first operational cycle based at least partially on a metric value, the metric value based on a distance between the assigned operation and the start operation and a distance between the assigned operation and the end operation.
