2.3.6. Assignment Editor Options
The Assignment Editor allows you to select Optimization Technique & Synthesis Power Optimization for individual modules. With this feature, you can focus on the parts of the design that require more work.
The Optimization Technique logic option specifies the overall optimization goal for Analysis & Synthesis: attempt to maximize performance or minimize logic usage.
Figure 21. Optimization Technique Options
The Power Optimization During Synthesis logic option determines how aggressively Analysis & Synthesis optimizes the design for power.
Figure 22. Power Optimization During Synthesis Options
Settings | Description | Optimization Techniques Included |
---|---|---|
Off | The Compiler does not perform netlist, placement, or routing optimizations to minimize power. | - |
Normal compilation (Default) | The Compiler applies low compute effort algorithms to minimize power through netlist optimizations that do not reduce design performance. |
|
Extra effort | Besides the techniques in the Normal compilation setting, the Compiler applies high-compute-effort algorithms to minimize power through netlist optimizations. Selecting this option might impact performance. |
