1.9. Decreasing Processing Time for SSN Analysis
FPGA designs are getting larger in density, logic, and I/O count. The time it takes to complete SSN analysis and other Intel® Quartus® Prime software processes affects your development time.
Faster processing times can reduce your design cycle time. Use the following guidelines to reduce processing time:
- Direct the Intel® Quartus® Prime software to use more than one processor for parallel executables, including the SSN Analyzer
- Perform SSN analysis after I/O assignment analysis if your design files and constraints are complete, and you are interested in generating the SSN results early in the design process and want to adjust I/O placements to see if you can obtain better results
- Perform SSN analysis after fitting if you want to view preliminary SSN results that do not take into account complete I/O assignment and I/O timing results
- Perform engineering change orders (ECOs) on your design, rather than recompiling the entire design, if you want to rerun SSN analysis after changing I/O assignments
