Hey all,
So I just finished a ROACH2 build, and everything from "copy base
package" through bitgen took almost 2 hours. It looks like this is
because I have 48 "shared memories", plus about another 20
"snapshots". The tools seem to be synthesizing each of these separately.
I would expect that many designs have several yellow blocks which are
instantiated multiple times with identical parameters. I don't have a
strong background in the CASPER toolflow, but does anyone know if
there's a way for us to cache synthesis products of identical yellow blocks?
