Congestion can be caused by a variety of factors and is a complex problem that
does not always have a straightforward solution. The report_design_analysis congestion report helps you identify the congested
regions and the top modules that are contained within the congestion window. Various
techniques exist to optimize the modules in the congested region. The
report_qor_suggestions can automate the resolution of many of the
items that cause congestion.
Tip: Before you try to address congestion
with the techniques discussed in the following sections, make sure that you have clean
constraints and you followed the clocking guidelines recommended by AMD. Excessive hold time failures (or negative hold slack) and clock
uncertainties require the router to detour, which can lead to congestion. Avoid
overlapping Pblocks, which can also cause congestion.
