Patent 12086518 was granted and assigned to Intel on September, 2024 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A method for implementing a programmable device is provided. The method may include extracting an underlay from an existing routing network on the programmable device and then mapping a user design to the extracted underlay. The underlay may represent a subset of fast routing wires satisfying predetermined constraints. The underlay may be composed of multiple repeating adjacent logic blocks, each implementing some datapath reduction operation. Implementing circuit designs in this way can dramatically improve circuit performance while cutting down compile times by more than half.
