Abstract
Mechanisms are provided to allow programmable chip systems to support parameter ranges or a parameter space instead of fixed parameters. A system parameter such as signal width, frequency, clock rate, may be accessed and changed at run-time instead of requiring regeneration and reimplementation of the programmable chip system. Optimized parameter values can be determined and used to generate a programmable chip system having fixed parameter values.
