Quartus® Prime Design Software v18.0

Intel® Quartus Prime design software v18.0 features greater compile time reduction and reduction in virtual memory requirements

Intel Quartus Prime software v18.0 has improvements made across the three key areas that designers care about the most—performance, productivity, and usability. Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition software v18.0 supports Intel Stratix® 10 TX, MX, SX, and GX devices. Accelerate FPGA development with faster compile times of Intel Stratix 10 designs in v18.0 as compared to prior releases. Larger Intel Stratix 10 designs show greater compile time reduction. There are additional settings on how to reduce compile time that can be accessed in the compiler user guide. With Intel Quartus prime pro edition software v18.0, designs will now experience a significant reduction in peak virtual memory requirements as compared to the 17.1.1 release. All Intel Stratix 10 designs compile in less than 64 GB of memory space.

Concurrent analysis support provides the ability to analyze the results of a design while compilation is running. This feature is supported with timing analyzer, netlist viewers, and compilation reports, enabling designs to be completed much faster. Partial reconfiguration (PR) allows users to reconfigure a portion of the FPGA dynamically while the remaining FPGA design continues to function. With Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition software v18.0, users can accelerate their applications using Intel FPGA programming tools on the Cloud to program FPGAs in a high-performance computing environment provided by Nimbix.
