Compilation Time

Hi, Does anybody know how to reduce the compilation time from Quartuss II and the simulation time from ModelSim. Thanks

I've never heard of IncrediBuild. The web site at your link talks about distributing processes across "multiple cores/processors". Quartus has this ability built in. Some parts of compilation can use up to 4 CPUs. You control this in the field labeled "Maximum processors allowed for parallel compilation" on the "Compilation Process Settings" page of the Settings dialog box. Using n processors does not reduce compilation time to 1/n, but it does help. The Quartus report tells you how much it helped.
