Resource Use
You may want to improve throughput first. However, you must also consider the use of
resources (ALMs, DSPs, and so on) in your design when targeting FPGAs, for the following
reasons:
- To obtain a design to fit on an FPGA image.
- To be able to use multiple copies of the design to increase throughput.
- To make room for other functionality to be implemented in the same FPGA image.
