Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described for efficiently performing EDA processing to arrive at a hardware definition for a varying fraction of a large circuit design. EDA processing is conducted targeting a pseudo hardware device with sufficient capacity to embody circuitry for the varying fraction, but substantially less than the true hardware target. The novel methods and apparatus may be beneficially employed to produce reconfiguration information for circuits that include programmable logic, for example.
