Background Builds

How Synth EE queues and executes large compilation jobs asynchronously.

Background Builds

In Synth Enterprise Edition, demanding compilation jobs — such as large multi-layer boards, high pin-count ICs, or designs with many simultaneous nets — are processed asynchronously in the background, separate from your browser session.


What This Means for You

  • No blocking: Trigger a build and continue other work. You don't need to keep the browser tab open.
  • Live progress: SynthUI streams placement and routing progress as it happens. Open the build page at any time to see current status.
  • Larger designs: Jobs that would saturate a laptop for several minutes are distributed across multiple workers, completing faster.

Build States

StateMeaning
QueuedWaiting for a worker to become available

SucceededBuild completed; artifacts available for download
FailedAn error occurred; view the build log for details

Notifications

Synth EE can send build completion notifications via email or webhook. Configure these in Settings → Notifications in SynthUI.


Build Logs

Every background build retains a full structured log. You can download it from Build Details → View Log for debugging unexpected DRC results or verifying that the expected routing passes ran.
