synthesis/MAP/PAR can run on different pcs at a time?

Hello.

 I need to reduce time spend in syntessi, map and PAR.

 

I have a quiestion:

synthesis/MAP/PAR  can run on different pcs at a time? is this possible?

 

Thanks

It's not clear what exactly you are trying to do. Synthesis, map and par must happen in sequence as one step requires result files from previous step. You can have multiple PCs to implement the same design with different tool options.

MAP and PAR can run in multi-core modes, on newer versions of ISE. What version of ISE are you using?

Re: synthesis/MAP/PAR can run on different pcs at a time?

sorry, you're right, my question is unclear.


I know that the synthesis, mapping  and PAR are sequential.

also know how to activate the mapping and PAR to use the  availables cores on my pc.


But i am interested to know if is possible to use multiple pcs to implementthe same design.
if true, could you clarify how .

 

thanks for answering

You will need multiple licenses. If that doesn't put you off, what are you trying to acheive?

You would be able to do multiple runs with different tool options in parallel. You could take the source files from a common network location, but will need separate .XISE/.GISE files and separate areas for results files.
