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
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Queued | Waiting for a worker to become available |
| Running | Actively executing — placement, routing, or DRC in progress |
| Succeeded | Build completed; artifacts available for download |
| Failed | An 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.
