How to resolve timing violations quickly

[shreyas]

Hi

I am trying to clear timing violations of my design. But after breaking the critical paths, I need to wait for minimum of 8 hours to get the next synthesis/timing results. Is there any way to clear the timing violations by speeding the synthesis flow? Any inputs would be helpful.

Thanks and regards

What device that you were using? Some of the design have rapid recompile option. If you do not have this option, you will have to wait for it.

You can make use of the concurrent compilation feature. Meaning, you can start analyzing timing at earlier stages (Plan/Place) while the design continues to compile and make some early judgement from there.

You any further question?
