Synthesis Summary Reports

Synthesis generates the following reports to summarize information about the compilation based on the settings selected in the Compiler Settings page.

Synthesis Summary Report

Summarizes the following information about the compilation:

Synthesis Status shows the status (Successful | Unsuccessful), end date, and end time of Synthesis.
Revision Name shows the revision name specified in the Revisions dialog box.
Top-Level Entity Name
Family shows the device family name specified in the Device page of the Settings dialog box.
Logic Utilization shows the total percent of logic used. Appears only if you specified a supported device family for compilation. The number is a total of Combinational ALUTs, Memory ALUTs, Logic registers or Dedicated logic registers, depending upon the device you specified for compilation.
Logic utilization (in ALMs) shows the number of Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs) needed in designs targeting supported devices.
Total registers shows the total number of registers used. This information appears only if you specified a supported device family for compilation.
Total logic elements shows the total number of logic elements used. This information only appears if you specified a supported device family for compilation. This information includes Total combinational functions and Dedicated logic registers for devices.
Total pins shows the total number of pins used and the total number of pins available.
Total virtual pins shows the total number of virtual pins used.
Total memory bits shows the total number of memory bits used and the total number of memory bits available.
DSP block 9-bit elements shows the total number of DSP block Definition 9-bit elements used. DSP block 9-bit elements make up the DSP blocks in a supported device family.
DSP block 18-bit elements shows the total number of DSP block Definition 18-bit elements used. DSP block 18-bit elements make up the DSP blocks.
Total GXB Receiver Channels shows the number of channels used in a design targeting a supported device family.
