3.1.3. Carry Chain Interconnects

There is a dedicated carry chain path between the ALMs. Intel Agilex® 7 devices include an enhanced interconnect structure in LABs for routing carry chains for efficient arithmetic functions. These ALM-to-ALM connections bypass the local interconnect.

The Intel® Hyperflex™ registers are added to the carry chain to enable flexible retiming across a chain of LABs and the Intel® Quartus® Prime Compiler automatically takes advantage of these resources to improve utilization and performance.
