Abstract
In this paper, a new package partitioning tool from Innovative Synthesis Technologies is described that uses functional cone partitioning [ICCAD93] to find high size to I/O ratio partitions. Partitioning for performance is provided by containing whole critical paths within packages, made easy with functional cone partitioning. Hierarchy is respected, allowing for partitioning into heterogeneous devices. As an extension of the ASYL+ netlist synthesis and technology migration system, the tool partitions for multiple PLD, FPGA, and ASIC technologies for desired market price and performance
