Abstract
A method of considering circuit timing requirements during the circuit design process, comprising receiving a clock cycle-time constraint; receiving delay characteristics of hardware resources from a macrocell library; receiving an operation, an alternative clock cycle associated with said operation and an alternative hardware resource associated with said operation; and determining validity of the received alternative with respect to timing constraints using a hardware structural representation of the program graph.
