12 years agoThis report is interesting... On my latest project I have an average use of 2.2 core in the fitter and 1.7 in Timequest, all the others are at 1.0. And indeed Quartus is on one core more than 50% of the time. In my case it doesn't seem to be very useful to go over 4 cores, and even with a dualcore I shouldn't see a big difference. Going for higher frequency, more memory, and a SSD is the way to get a lower compile time, more than multiple cores.
