An intelligent design run (IDR) is a specialized implementation run that uses a complex flow to attempt timing closure. Because an IDR can be aggressive, expect a compile time about 3.5 times longer than a standard run.

The IDR provides a simple interface for complex timing closure features and can achieve results comparable to those of FPGA experts for a high percentage of designs.

Note: Intelligent Design Runs are not available for AMD Versalâ„¢ architectures. As an alternative, use the instructions found in the Automatically Generating and Applying Suggestions section to automatically generate and apply suggestions.
