Producing optimal implementations for designs targeted to today's advanced FPGAs is increasingly dominated by the ability of the user to take advantage of dedicated resources such as block RAMs, multipliers and DSP blocks.
What is needed is a way to give expert control to every user, providing early visibility into mapping choices and the ability to easily investigate alternate implementations.
While synthesis tools do a good job of properly...
