Using the Design Space Explorer to
Achieve Timing Closure
You can use the Design Space Explorer (DSE) to optimize your design for
timing. The DSE interface allows you to explore a range of Quartus II
options and settings automatically to determine which settings should be
used to obtain the best possible result for the project. You can specify the
level of change DSE can evaluate, your optimization goals, the target device,
and the allowable compilation time.
To run the DSE, click Launch Design Space Explorer on the Tools menu. For
more information on using the Design Space Explorer, refer to
Design Space Explorer” on page 63 in Chapter 4, “Place and Route.”
Power Analysis with the PowerPlay
Power Analyzer
The Quartus II PowerPlay Power Analysis tools provide an interface that
allows you to estimate static and dynamic power consumption throughout
the design cycle. The PowerPlay Power Analyzer performs postfitting
power analysis and produces a power report that highlights, by block type
and entity, the power consumed. The Altera PowerPlay Early Power
Estimator estimates power consumption at other stages of the design
process and produces a Microsoft Excel-based spreadsheet with estimate
information. The PowerPlay power analysis flow is shown in
