OPTIMIZE_POWER_DURING_SYNTHESIS
OPTIMIZE_POWER_DURING_SYNTHESIS
Type
Controls the power-driven compilation setting of Analysis & Synthesis. This option
determines how aggressively Analysis & Synthesis optimizes the design for power. If
this option is set to Off, Analysis & Synthesis does not perform any power
optimizations. If this option is set to Normal compilation, Analysis & Synthesis
performs power optimizations as long as they are not expected to reduce design
performance. When this option is set to Extra effort, Analysis & Synthesis performs
additional power optimizations which may reduce design performance.
This option can be used as a project-wide option, or assigned to a design entity.
This option defaults to Normal compilation.
