options to specify that the signal should be available throughout the device
on a global routing path, specify that the Fitter should create parallel
expander chains automatically, specify that the Fitter should automatically
combine a register with a combinational function in the same logic cell, also
known as “register packing,” or limit the length of carry chains, cascade
chains, and parallel expander chains.

Using the Resource Optimization
Advisor
The Resource Optimization Advisor offers recommendations for optimizing
your design for resource usage in the following areas:
■ logic element usage
■ memory block usage
■ DSP block usage
■ I/O usage
■ routing resource usage
If you have an open project, you can view the Resource Optimization
Advisor by choosing Resource Optimization Advisor (Tools menu). If the
project has not been compiled yet, the Resource Optimization Advisor
provides only general recommendations for optimizing resource usage. If
the project has been compiled, however, the Resource Optimization Advisor
can provide specific recommendations for the project, based on the project
information and current settings. Figure 6 shows the Resource Optimization
Advisor.
