LabVIEW FPGA Idea Exchange

With multiple hosts in one project remove the restriction of FPGA target names.  If I have 2 cRIOs in one project and the FPGA in those cRIO's is the same then so should the FPGA target name.

Of course, FPGA target names must be unique if they are within the same host.

Even though ibberger touched the concept in the idea , I do think that most o people uses LabVIEW under Windows environment. Compiling a FPGA VI happens all in the PC under Windows. I noticed that during this process the compiler uses only one core. Since I'm using a machine with a 4 core processor, the CPU use rarely goes above 25%.

My idea is to update the compiler allowing it to be multicore. The user should have the option to limit the maximum number of cores available to the compiler. This is necessary because the user may want to continue working, while the compiling process is being done in background.

I'd like to have a dedicated FPGA Compile Server, based on a realy slim OS, e.g. damn small linux oder even PharLab? The OS does not realy matter, as far as it is multi-core capable and it should use as little system resources as possible, to get as much ressources as possible for the compilation process.

Purpose: get max. compilation speed
