Synthesis-place&route performance test.

Nov 14, 2007 2 Replies

I would like to find out how well different system setups performs when it comes to Synthesis, Place & Route with Xilinx ISE tools. I would like you to synth/place/route the source package below. And then reply with: cpu type, cpu frequency, ram type, ram size, motherboard vendor/model, operating system (uname -a), total time used.

Tested on linux Xilinx ISE 8.1i. If you run any linux compatible system it's just to download and type: bzip2 -dc Minimig1.tar.bz2 | tar -xvpf - cd Minimig1 time make ; uname -a



The makefile might work in win32 enviroment (or use the gui). Even obsolete systems is of interest. To get more data on which factors that makes a performance difference.

I saw runtime differences up to 1 minute when I implement the design multiple times. Each implementation was run on a freshly unpacked project directory. Maybe this is due to your design not meeting timing.
