How to switch off unused resource of FPGA devices.

Is there any way to switching off unused resource of FPGA devices! If it works, the static power of the circuits implemented in FPGA will reduce greatly.

Thanks and Regards,

    well, never heard of that but may be altera will manage it one day. The problem is that to switch off all the unused circuitry may need more power for the switches themselves... catch 22
