Problem when compilation a large project.

When I synthesis and compilate my project with many filters and FFT, The Quartus II takes many time to complete process. It's sometime takes to 10 minuts. Even when I take a small chang in signals, I must compilate all project and ...... wait.....wait............................

Is 10 minuts too long? How 's your longest compilation time?

Any way to save time of compilation?

For example. Can I load every single block or subprogram seprately? so I don't have to compilate those blocks. Is that possible?

    10 minutes, is nothing.. :) Most of my designs take > 1 hour, and in the past I've had designs take up to 3 days to complete. (Very painful!!)

    The faster you machine the better.

    If you have a full license of Quartus, you can use the incremental compile and logic lock to lock down the parts of the design you are not touching. But they are pluses and minuses to this as well. (where you have it use the previous routing)
