2.3.1. Conventional Versus Hyper-Pipelining
- Add two registers between logic clouds.
- Modify HDL to insert a third register (or pipeline stage) into the design’s logic cloud, which is Logic Cloud 2. This register insertion effectively creates Logic Cloud 2a and Logic Cloud 2b in the HDL
The resulting implementation in the Hyper-Pipelining flow differs from the conventional pipelining flow by the location of the Pipe 3 register. Because the Compiler is aware of the current circuit implementation, including routing, the Compiler can more effectively locate the aggregate registers to meet the design’s maximum operating frequency. Hyper-Pipelining requires significantly less effort than conventional pipelining techniques because you can place registers at a convenient location in a data path. The Compiler optimizes the register placements automatically.
