Integrated circuit device configuration methods adapted to account for retiming

A method of configuring an integrated circuit device with a user logic design, said method comprising:

• determining latency requirements along parallel paths within said user logic design;
• routing said user logic design based on availability of storage elements for incorporation into said parallel paths to satisfy said latency requirements;
• retiming said user logic design following said routing by incorporating at least some of said storage elements into said parallel paths;
• generating a configuration bitstream based on said identifying, said determining, said routing and said retiming;
• and
• storing said configuration bitstream in configuration memory of said programmable integrated circuit device.

A non-transitory machine readable storage medium encoded with instructions for performing a method of configuring an integrated circuit device with a user logic design, said instructions comprising:

• instructions to determine latency requirements along parallel paths within said user logic design;
• instructions to perform routing of said user logic design based on availability of storage elements for incorporation into said parallel paths to satisfy said latency requirements;
• and
• instructions to perform retiming of said user logic design following said routing by incorporating at least some of said storage elements into said parallel paths.
