1.3. Module 1: Analyze the Non-Partitioned Design

Follow the steps in this tutorial module to analyze the non-partitioned design to determine appropriate locations for design partitions.

Process Description

Use of the Fast Preserve option requires that you partition your design, similar to the setup for partial reconfiguration. You first analyze the non-partitioned design to determine which blocks have satisfactory performance, and which blocks require further optimization. The Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Assistant helps you to identify areas for further optimization.

After partitioning the design, you preserve the partitions and enable Fast Preserve to focus compilation time on the non-optimized partitions.
