Abstract
A method for designing a system on a target device includes performing delay annotation where a first delay associated with a first aspect of the system is determined by a first software thread and a second delay associated with a second aspect of the system is determined by a second software thread and the first and second software threads operate in parallel. Ensuring independence between each aspect of the system will facilitate efficient parallelism (i.e. minimal synchronization) while still maintaining serial equivalency.
