Abstract
A method is provided for generating an implementation of an electronic design. Information describing a set of strategies is specified. Each strategy of the set includes one or more options for directing the generation of an implementation of the electronic design, with each option being a set of one or more input parameter values to an implementation tool. The set of strategies is displayed and a subset of the set of strategies is selected in response to user input. For each strategy of the subset, a respective implementation of the electronic design is generated from a specification of the electronic design in a hardware description language. The option or options of each strategy are input to one or more implementation tools to direct the generation of the respective implementation for the strategy. For each strategy of the subset, quality metrics are displayed for the respective implementation of the electronic design.
