PROGRAMMABLE_POWER_TECHNOLOGY_SETTING

Controls how the fitter configures tiles to operate in high-speed mode or low-power mode. Automatic specifies that the fitter should try to minimize power without sacrificing timing performance. Minimize Power Only specifies that the fitter should set the maximum number of tiles to operate in low-power mode. Force All Used Tiles to High Speed specifies that the fitter should set all used tiles to operate in high-speed mode. Force All Tiles with Failing Timing Paths to High Speed specifies that the fitter should ensure that all paths that are failing timing are set to high-speed mode. For designs that meet timing, the behavior of this setting should be similar to the Automatic setting. For designs that fail timing, all paths with negative slack will be put in high-speed mode. Note that this will likely not increase the speed of the design, and it may increase static power consumption, but it may assist in determining which logic paths need to be re-designed in order to close timing.
