Hyper-Retiming, How to disable it in the .qsf?

Hi Alex,

I don't think you can entirely skip the Retime stage, the big selling point of a HyperFlex device is the ability to improve timing with the Retime stage. How much time is used for Retime stage?

You can try other steps to reduce Retime compilation time/effort.

• Choose Compiler Optimization Modes: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683236/22-1/compiler-optimization-modes.html
• Disable all retime/retiming related settings in Advanced Fitter Settings. Go to Assignments>Settings>Compiler Settings>Advanced Settings (Fitter)
• Disable Design Assistant Rule in Retime stage (if any): https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683236/21-3/hyperflex-settings.html
• Disable Intermediate Fitter Snapshots for Retime stage (if any): https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683236/21-3/enable-intermediate-fitter-snapshots.html
