OPTIMIZE_POWER_DURING_FITTING
Controls the power-driven compilation setting of the Fitter. This option determines how aggressively the Fitter optimizes the design for power. If this option is set to 'Off', the Fitter does not perform any power optimizations. If this option is set to 'Normal compilation', the Fitter performs power optimizations which should not impact design performance or increase compile time. When this option is set to 'Extra effort', the Fitter will perform additional power optimizations which may affect design performance and/or increase compile time. For the best results with Extra Effort power optimization during fitting, you should specify a Signal Activity File (SAF file) that lists the toggle rate of each signal in the design. To generate the most accurate Signal Activity File (SAF file) use a gate-level simulation, with glitch filtering, of the compiled design. Specify this SAF file as an input to the Power Analyzer in the Power Analysis Settings, and recompile the design with Extra Effort Power Optimization during fitting. The signal activities (toggle rates) in the SAF file help guide the fitter to reduce power.
