Description
The iphys_opt_design command describes a specific optimization that was performed by the phys_opt_design command, such as replicating a critical cell or pulling registers from a block RAM to improve critical path delay. The iphys_opt_design command includes all the information necessary to recreate both the post-optimization logical netlist and the placement changes required for the optimized netlist.
- Applying post-placement physical optimizations to the pre-placement netlist to improve the overall placement result and improve design performance.
- Saving the physical optimizations in a Tcl script to be repeated as needed.
The various optimizations performed by phys_opt_design can be written to an iphys_opt Tcl script by write_iphys_opt_tcl, and read into the design by the read_iphys_opt_tcl command.
iphys_opt_design command is intended for use inside the iphys_opt Tcl script file. These commands can be edited in the context of the iphys_opt Tcl script, but they are not intended to be specified at the command line.This command returns a transcript of its processes, or an error if it fails.
Arguments
-fanout_opt - (Optional) Performs delay-driven optimization on the specified net, by replicating drivers to reduce delay.
-critical_cell_opt - (Optional) Replicate cells on specified nets to reduce delays.
-placement_opt - (Optional) Move cells to reduce delay on specified nets.
-rewire - (Optional) Refactor logic cones to reduce logic levels and reduce delay on critical signals.
-net <arg> - (Optional) Specify the net to apply an optimization to.
-cluster <args> - (Required) Specify a cluster of load pins.
-place_cell <args> - (Required) Place the specified cells, or cells connected to the specified pins, on the device sites specified.
-dsp_register_opt - (Optional) Improve critical path delay by moving registers from slices to DSP blocks, or from DSP blocks to slices.
-bram_register_opt - (Optional) Improve critical path delay by moving registers from slices to block RAMs, or from block RAMs to slices.
-uram_register_opt - (Optional) Improve critical path delay by moving registers from slices to UltraRAMs, or from UltraRAMs to slices.
-shift_register_opt - (Optional) Perform shift register optimization to improve timing on negative slack paths between shift register cells (SRLs) and other logic cells.
-cell <arg> - (Optional) Specify a cell to apply an optimization to.
-packing - (Optional) Packing in DSP/BRAM.
-unpacking - (Optional) Unpacking in DSP/BRAM.
-port <arg> - (Optional) Specify a port on a cell to apply the optimization to.
-critical_pin_opt - For LUT inputs, this optimization performs remapping of logical pins to physical pins, also known as pin-swapping, to improve critical path timing.
-skipped_optimization - (Optional) Defines the specified optimization as not performed. These are optimizations identified by phys_opt_design that are skipped because suitable locations for optimized logic cannot be found. For example, BRAM register optimizations to improve slack that are skipped because no suitable locations can be found for the registers.
-insert_negative_edge_ffs - (Optional) Insert negative edge, or falling edge triggered flip flops to help manage hold timing.
-hold_fix - (Optional) Performs optimizations to insert data path delay buffers for hold fix optimization.
-slr_crossing_opt - (Optional) Performs post-place or post-route optimizations to improve the path delay of inter-SLR connections. The optimization adjusts the locations of the driver, load, or both along the SLR crossing after potential replication. For use with UltraScale and UltraScale+ devices.
-auto_pipeline - (Optional) Auto pipeline the design.
-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
