Abstract

See full text

An emulation system and method that reduces or eliminates the number of timing errors such as hold time violations when implementing a netlist description of an integrated circuit. The emulation system comprises a plurality of reprogrammable logic circuits and a plurality of reprogrammable interconnect circuits. The netlist description is optimized to reduce the number of timing violations by removing the occurences of gated clocks from the netlist, partitioning the netlist description by taking into account the occurence of timing violations and ensuring that retain state nets are implemented properly.
