Thermal-Aware Programmable Logic Device-Based Programming

Systems or methods of the present disclosure may provide for implementing design software that is used to design a configuration for a programmable fabric of a programmable logic device. Implementing the design software includes receiving, at a processor, design configuration details for the configuration. Implementing the design software also includes receiving, at the processor, a plurality of constraints including a thermal constraint for the configuration. Moreover, implementing the design software comprises performing thermal aware resource selection based at least in part on the thermal constraint. Furthermore, implementing the design software includes causing the programmable logic device to be operated to stay within the thermal constraint.
