1.2.3. Partitions and Floorplan Assignments for Incremental Compilation
Using incremental compilation for your design with good design partitioning methodology helps to achieve timing closure. Creating design partitions on some of the major blocks in your design and assigning them to Logic Lock (Standard)™ regions, reduces Fitter time and improves the quality and repeatability of the results. Logic Lock (Standard) regions are flexible, reusable floorplan location constraints that help you place logic on the target device. When you assign entity instances or nodes to a Logic Lock (Standard) region, you direct the Fitter to place those entity instances or nodes inside the region during fitting.
Using incremental compilation helps you achieve timing closure block by block and preserve the timing performance between iterations, which aid in achieving timing closure for the entire design. Incremental compilation may also help reduce compilation times.
