Abstract: Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) are electronic devices that can be reconfigured at runtime. Due to the fact that they implement a small number of dedicated functions, FPGAs are used for hardware acceleration, alongside with general purpose processors. Several vendors provide different Integrated Development Environments, but all of them support the standard VHDL and Verilog hardware description languages. After the development phase, implementing an FPGA design can be a time-consuming and cpu-intensive task. The current paper examines existing technical solutions that provide build parallelism at high speeds, as opposed to workstation-local building, and tries to estimate at what point migrating towards a third party justifies the costs.
