This paper presents a cooperative design‐view environment for interactive partitioning applications. This environment provides the user with a comprehensive viewing facility that describes the potentially complex relationships between various design objects. Using this environment, the user is able to evaluate and analyse design results visually throughout the entire partitioning process. We have developed a graphical user interface (GUI) environment for the InterPar system which supports mixed automatic and manual partitioning for multiple‐field programmable gate array (FPGA) designs. The preliminary experiments have shown that the use of InterPar may lead to a new direction for the exploration of new partitioning approaches based on the circuit‐structure analysis.
