An incremental circuit design methodology using logic synthesis where comparisons are made between netlists corresponding to two separate versions of a design to determine similarities between the two. The similarities are then used to ensure the same physical implementation for the unchanged portion of the design. Therefore, information from the physical implementation of the previous design may be used in implementing the later design.
