Abstract
The generation of a netlist for an electronic system includes identifying one or more relocation blocks in a first system design hierarchy for the electronic system and determining a corresponding target block in the first system design hierarchy for each relocation block. The generation of the netlist further includes producing a second system design hierarchy from the first system design hierarchy by relocating each relocation block to the corresponding target block while maintaining connectivity for the one or more ports for each relocation block. The netlist is generated from the second system design hierarchy.
