Abstract

A heterogeneous device including multiple types of resources is provided to implement multiple logic functions. Logic functions are provided with multiple configuration options. In one example, an optimal set of configuration options along with a target device are selected using cost and resource availability information associated with multiple heterogeneous programmable chips and the configuration options provided with the logic blocks.
