Optimization Technique logic option

A logic option that specifies the overall goal for logic optimization, that is, whether to attempt to achieve maximum speed performance, minimum area usage, or balance high performance with minimal logic usage during compilation.

You can use this option as a project-wide option, or assign it to a design entity. This option is available for all Altera devices.

For detailed information, refer to the device family data sheet available from the Literature section of the Altera website.
