what is back annotation

Hi All, Please anyone explain in detail about back annotation. Thanks in advance+regards, Raghavendra


During a non-deterministic process step information is generated. This information is usually the result of implementation in some step of the FPGA (usually timing, sometimes labels or logic). This added information may be used in a previously created step (ie simulation) . The information is "back-annotated" and this information makes the simulation (in this case) more accurate.
