Abstract
A method involves building an intermediate form data flow graph (IFgraph) from an intermediate form data flow tree (IFtree) associated with the logic design, partitioning the IFgraph across at least three levels of granularity to obtain a partitioned IFgraph, wherein partitioning the IFgraph involves balancing a set of nodes of the IFgraph into a first subset and a second subset, wherein each of the first subset and second subset are within a predefined constraint of the cycle-based system, and wherein the balancing is performed on at least one of the levels of granularity, and rewriting the IFtree based on the partitioned IFgraph.
