Abstract

A system and method of performing an intra-run decision during synthesis to determine a physical implementation of a system-on-chip (SoC) logic design are described. The method includes executing a stage of the synthesis with two or more scenarios, each scenario representing a unique combination of values of one or more parameters, and determining a quality measure associated with each of the two or more scenarios. The method also includes performing the intra-run decision by eliminating one or more of the two or more scenarios for execution in a subsequent stage of the synthesis based on the quality measure associated with each of the two or more scenarios.
