Hi

I am using quartus 9.0 . When i run qaurtus on 4 core processor , the fitter summary report that it is using only 1.6 . Thus the amout of time required to compile is 40 min. Is there a way to increase the processos usage . The option "use all processors" is also set.

Thanks

Hi Avinash,

not all fitting tasks could run in parallel. I would assume that setting to "use all processors"

will not change the average usage. Did you run other programms on your QuadCore PC during fitting ? Maybe the average usage of processors could be increase by the use of design partitions.

Kind regards
