2.5.8. Reducing High-Speed Tile (HST) Usage
High-Speed tiles are available in Stratix® V and Intel® Arria® 10 device families.
- In the Advanced Fitter Settings pane, The Programmable Power Technology Optimization logic option controls how the fitter configures tiles to operate in high-speed mode or low-power mode. Select Minimize Power Only.
