ORPORATION
If you want to view recommendations for improving timing results, you can
use the Timing Optimization Advisor. See
Advisor” on page 141 in Chapter 10, “Timing Closure.”
Using the Design Space Explorer
Another way to control Quartus II fitting to optimize for power, area, and
performance, is to use the Design Space Explorer (DSE). The DSE interface
allows you to explore a range of Quartus II options and settings
automatically to determine which settings you should use to obtain the best
possible result for the project. To start DSE, on the Tools menu, click Launch
Design Space Explorer.
You can specify the effort level that DSE puts into determining the optimal
settings the current project. The DSE interface also allows you to specify
optimization goals and allowable compilation time.
DSE provides several exploration modes, which are listed under
Exploration Settings in the DSE window. Selecting the Advanced Search
option opens the Advanced tab, which allows you to specify additional
options for exploration space, optimization goal, and search method.
After you have specified your exploration settings, you can use the Explore
Space command on the Processing menu to start the exploration. You can
see the results of the exploration on the Explore tab.
!
You can run DSE in graphical user interface mode by typing the following command
at a command prompt:
quartus_sh --dse
You can run DSE in command-line mode by typing the following command at a
command prompt, along with any additional DSE options:
quartus_sh --dse -nogui <project name> [-c <revision name>]
For help on DSE options, type quartus_sh --help=dse
on the DSE Help menu, click Show Documentation.
