Abstract
A method for designing a system to be implemented on a target device includes performing a first synthesis run on an entire design of a system with a first setting to generate a first cell netlist for the entire design of the system. A second synthesis run is performed on the entire design for the system with a second setting and is performed in parallel with the first synthesis procedure to generate a second cell netlist for the entire design of the system. A merged cell netlist is generated that includes a first section of logic from the first netlist and a second section of logic from the second cell netlist.
