Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products are described for generating synthesizable netlists from register transfer level (RTL) designs to aid with semiconductor device design. These netlists provide RTL design information corresponding to a portion of a semiconductor device. A configuration tracer generates behavior information associated with the RTL design. A register compiler compiles a set of semiconductor devices based on one or more technologies and power, performance, and area (PPA) information related to the semiconductor device. Semiconductor devices generated by the register compiler that meet predefined power, performance, and area conditions are identified. Structural information for aligning the input/output ports of the semiconductor device is generated. A set of one or more synthesizable semiconductor device configurations is created based on user defined parameters such that one of the synthesizable semiconductor device designs may by selected to generate a design netlist with structure-synthesizable input/output boundary compatible semiconductor device modules.
