Incremental Implementation refers to the implementation phase of the Incremental Compile design flow that:
- Preserves QoR predictability by reusing prior placement and routing from a reference design.
- Speeds up place and route run time or attempts last mile timing closure.
A diagram of the Incremental Implementation design flow is provided in the following figure.
Note: This diagram also illustrates the incremental synthesis flow. For more details about
incremental synthesis flow, see the "Incremental Synthesis" section in the
Vivado
Design Suite User Guide: Synthesis (UG901).
