Abstract
Methods, computer programs and systems for using two software programs to generate a compiled design for an integrated circuit (IC) are provided. The method compiles a first IC design using a first design program and then migrates the first IC design to a second IC design, still using the first design program. Additionally, the method performs synthesis and analysis on the second IC design, still using the first design program. A second design program is used to import compile information associated with the compiling of the first IC design and the synthesis and analysis of the second IC design. The second design program is also used to create a compiled design for the second IC based on the imported compile information.
