Elaboration of entities that are generated take very long time

Hi all, I have a design where I generate a large number (496) of enities. They are note very big in logic, around 13 ALM's in a CycloneV SOC. My problem is, that the elaboration step for these enti...

    So I had the opportunity to move our build machine to a Intel Proessor machine which makes my synthesis step roughly 50% faster, the fitter step not 50% but still remarkably faster. If you guys stumble over this post with the same issue, please drop a line in this thread in order to show Intel this is an issue.
    I will however stop investigation here since I am happy with this workaround.
    @KhaiChein_Y_Intel I am not allowed to share this design since it is under NDA Agreement sorry.

Hi,


I found three KDB about the compilation time. You may try the suggestions in the KDB below.

  1. What PC should I buy to get the fastest compilation time for the Quartus II software?https://www.intel.com/content/altera-www/global/en_us/index/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/solutions/rd05082012_510.html
  2. Why don't I see the expected compilation time reduction with parallel compilation?https://www.intel.com/content/altera-www/global/en_us/index/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/solutions/rd04022007_474.html
  3. How can I improve the compilation time performance of the parallel compilation feature in the Quartus II software?https://www.intel.com/content/altera-www/global/en_us/index/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/solutions/rd03222007_376.html

Thanks.

Best regards,

KhaiY

    Hello,

    Thanks for pointing to these links. I tried all of them before and they did not help. I didn't expect a lot from them beforehand since they are greatly outdated anyway... Waiting for more helpful stuff from you Intel guys.
