3.1.1. Disabling or Enabling Physical Synthesis Optimization

Physical synthesis optimization improves circuit performance by performing combinational and sequential optimization and register duplication.

The Compiler performs physical synthesis optimization by default during place and route. You can disable or enable physical synthesis optimization and related options by following these steps:

To disable or enable physical synthesis optimization:

  1. Click Assignments > Settings > Compiler Settings.
  2. To enable retiming, combinational optimization, and register duplication, click Advanced Settings (Fitter).
  3. Enable Advanced Physical Synthesis.
  4. View physical synthesis results in the Netlist Optimizations report under Compilation Report > Fitter section.
