In this lab, you will learn about using the Power Optimization features in AMD Vivado™ tools for AMD UltraScale+™ devices. The lab takes you through the steps for invoking Power Optimization after synthesizing the design. It also guides you on how to use the power optimization report, make decisions and selectively turn off power optimization on signals, blocks, and hierarchies.
Tip: When you run Implementation on your
design, the Vivado tools can perform block RAM power
optimizations by default during
opt_design. These
optimizations do not affect performance, and have little impact on area and compile
time. In the previous Lab, the default block RAM power optimization was disabled (Step 9 of Lab 2) by setting a NoBramPowerOpt directive to opt_design.
