Achronix Dramatically Reduces Compile Times with New Incremental Compile Support in its ACE Design Tools

February 18, 2015

Santa Clara, Calif., Feb 18, 2015 – Achronix Semiconductor Corporation today announced the immediate availability of its latest tool suite, the Achronix CAD Environment (ACE) version 5.4, which now contains support for incremental compilation.

Incremental compilation dramatically increases productivity by allowing FPGA designers to compile portions of their design that have changed while leaving the remainder of their design intact. Incremental changes to a design can be passed through the entire tool flow efficiently, providing up to 58% speed-up compared to a non-incremental flow.

Compilation times are a critical consideration for FPGA designers. During both the design and prototype phases … Read More → "Achronix Dramatically Reduces Compile Times with New Incremental Compile Support in its ACE Design Tools"
