Abstract
A method for designing a system on a target device is disclosed. A first netlist is generated or a first version of the system in a first compilation. Optimizations are performed on the first version of the system during synthesis resulting in a second netlist. A third netlist is generated or a second version of the system in a second compilation. The first version of the system in the first netlist and the second version of the system in the third netlist are differentiated to identify identical regions.
