Reproducing the bitwise identical .rpd files in Quartus

Hello,

I am really sorry for the late response.

Unfortunately, I am still not able to reproduce the bitwise identical files. I checked and observed that Quartus generates a different .pof file checksum but functionally equivalent results.

I also compared .map.rpt and .fit.rpt Reports and observed small differences in the Parallel Compilation. Here are the values that I observed.

As I said in my first entry, Quartus settings and design files are identical. The only thing that I cannot guarantee is db and incremental_db folders. The rest is unchanged.

To eliminate the effect of db and incremental_db folders, I got the design from repository and compiled it under two different data paths independently, parallel compilation values for two fresh compilations are also different than each other. Do you think if it is related to project settings? In my first entry you can see the settings that I used. Is there any setting that causes undeterministic compilation?

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards,
Alpay
