Design Implementation, Analysis, Optimization, and Verification
After you create your design source code and apply constraints including the device selection and timing requirements, your synthesis tool processes the code and maps it to elements of the device architecture. The Intel® Quartus® Prime Fitter then performs placement and routing to implement the design elements in specific device resources. If required, you can use the Intel® Quartus® Prime software to optimize the design’s resource utilization and achieve timing closure, preserve the performance of unchanged design blocks, and reduce compilation time for future iterations. You can also verify the design functionality with simulation or formal verification. This section provides guidelines for these stages of the compilation flow.
