1.2.2.1. Impact of Using Incremental Compilation with Design Partitions
Characteristic |
Impact of Incremental Compilation with Design Partitions |
---|---|
Compilation Time Savings |
Typically saves an average of 75% of compilation time for small design changes in large designs when post-fit netlists are preserved; there are savings in both Quartus® Prime Integrated Synthesis and the Fitter. 1 |
Performance Preservation |
Excellent performance preservation when timing critical paths are contained within a partition, because you can preserve post‑fitting information for unchanged partitions. |
Node Name Preservation |
Preserves post‑fitting node names for unchanged partitions. |
Area Changes |
The area (logic resource utilization) might increase because cross-boundary optimizations are limited, and placement and register packing are restricted. |
fMAX Changes |
The design’s maximum frequency might be reduced because cross‑boundary optimizations are limited. If the design is partitioned and the floorplan location assignments are created appropriately, there might be no negative impact on fMAX. |
