Managing Large Designs
Design Optimization
The following subsections explain how to manage large designs.
With Foundation, you can control optimization of the design on a
module-by-module basis. This means that you have the ability to, for
example, optimize certain modules of your design for speed and
some for area. In addition, an effort level for the optimization engine
can be set to either high or low.
For the Schematic Flow projects, the optimization goals may be set in
the HDL Editor, by selecting Synthesis
For Foundation HDL Flow projects, the optimization goals are set for
individual modules in the “module” tab of the Express Constraints
Editor. (The module tab is shown in the following figure.)

Select the target device
Choose to edit constraints after elaboration. This option
opens the Express Constraints Editor before the design is
optimized by the synthesis engine.
Choose to view the estimated performance after optimization
spreadsheets. This opens the Express Time Tracker and
displays the design’s pre-implementation timing estimates.
