TMC-20500: Hierarchical Tree Duplication was Shallower than Possible

Description

Hierarchical tree duplication can be limited by a variety of issues, usually related to issues with pipelining of registers upstream of the tail register that feeds the hierarchy tree.

For more on Hierarchical Duplication and the DUPLICATE_HIERARCHY_DEPTH assignment, refer to Hierarchical Proximity in the Register Duplication section of Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition User Guide: Design Optimization .

Recommendation

Address the issue limiting the duplication, or increase the number of pipeline stages preceding the high fan-out tail.

Severity

Low
