Baseline Circuits Generation
•(Push-button flow baseline)
•Input is VHDL or Verilog
•Synthesize using Synplify Pro 6.2, freq = s
•Place and route using Xilinx backend tools
•Obtain frequency from reports
•repeat step (2) to (4), increasing s 10% until done
•Using frequency in (5), do Multi-Pass Place&Route (MPPR) for 10 runs, pick the best design  [+10%]
