METHOD FOR REMAPPING LOGIC MODULES TO RESOURCES OF A PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAY

A method is provided for remapping logic modules to resources of a programmable gate array. Connections are specified between at least two logic modules, wherein each module has a respective floorplan that includes a set of circuit elements. A first set of resources of the programmable gate array is compared to a second set of resources, wherein the second set of resources are those resources required by the sets of circuit elements. If the first set of resources covers the second set of resources, the floorplans of the logic modules are combined into a single floorplan that maps to the first set of resources.
