Abstract
Examples described herein provide a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations. The operations include: generating, using the one or more processors, a plurality of child processes according to a number of programmable dies of the multi-die device, each of the plurality of child processes corresponding to a respective programmable die of the multi-die device, wherein the plurality of child processes execute on different processors; partitioning a design for the multi-die device into a plurality of portions, each of the portions to be used to configure one of the programmable dies of the multi-die device; transmitting the plurality of portions of the design to the plurality of child processes for placement; and receiving placements from the plurality of child processes.
