Planning for Hierarchical and Team-Based Design
The Intel® Quartus® Prime incremental compilation feature preserves the results and performance for unchanged logic in your design as you make changes elsewhere, allowing you to perform more design iterations and achieve timing closure more efficiently. In an incremental compilation flow, the system architect splits a large design into smaller partitions that can be designed separately. In a team design environment, team members can work on partitions independently, which simplifies the design process and reduces compilation time. Partitioning your design is optional, but these benefits are important for large Cyclone® 10 GX designs.
If you want to take advantage of the compilation-time savings and performance preservation of Intel® Quartus® Prime incremental compilation, plan for an incremental compilation flow from the beginning of your design cycle. Good partition and floorplan design helps lower-level design blocks meet top-level design requirements, reducing the time spent integrating and verifying the timing of the top-level design.
