Design Partitioning

Design partitioning is a powerful technique that enables designers to manage complexity more effectively and optimize distinct elements of a system for improved performance and reuse. By logically grouping mutually exclusive functions or operators, partitioning allows better control over resource sharing and optimization strategies.
Partitions can be combinational, supporting simpler logic clusters, or sequential, incorporating pipelined datapath elements to meet higher frequency targets or accommodate a larger number of operators. Thoughtful design partitioning helps maintain clarity, scalability, and efficiency across complex hardware systems.
