Hi, We are using standard FPGA FFT IP for our design given by intel. we want to use many FFT IPs parallely for that the problem that we are seeing is resources for ALMs required is not suffiecient ...

I check in Q16.1, it does seems to be a bugs as Q18.1 does not face this issue. What you can do is the follow:

1) download and install Quartus 18.1

2) copy the files from the Q18.1 (<quartus_install_dir>/ip/altera/dsp/) to the Q16.1

This will make your Quartus 16.1 make used of Q18.1 dsp block. As long as quartus able to compiles, the functionality should be fine. However, you have to make simulation to double check.

Thanks,
