1.3.2. Reducing Area

By default, the Intel® Quartus® Prime Fitter might physically spread a design over the entire device to meet the set timing constraints. If you prefer to optimize your design to use the smallest area, you can change this behavior. If you require reduced area, you can enable certain physical synthesis options to modify your netlist to create a more area-efficient implementation, but at the cost of increased runtime and decreased performance.
