Quartus. II software version 7.2 is the #1 design software in performance
and productivity for FPGA, CPLD, and structured ASIC designs. With the
advances in version 7.2, Quartus II software and Stratix. III FPGAs now
offer a 2 speed-grade advantage and 3x faster compile times when compared
to competing high-end, 65-nm FPGAs. In addition, version 7.2 introduces the
first 64-bit Windows Vista support from an FPGA vendor.
In version 7.2, Quartus II software continues to be the only software from
an FPGA vendor to offer multiprocessor support (for example, Intel.s Core
2 Duo and AMD.s Athlon 64 x2) to take advantage of today.s dual-core and
quad-core computers.

2 Speed-Grade Advantage and 3x Faster Compile Times
With precision focus on improving performance and productivity, Quartus II
software version 7.2 delivers unparalleled performance for high-end FPGAs
and continues to lead the industry in compile times. New in version 7.2
are further optimized place-and-route algorithms extending Stratix III
FPGA.s performance advantage from 1 speed grade to 2 speed grades compared
to version 7.1. In addition, by parallelizing more Quartus II algorithms
compared to the previous version, version 7.2 is able to improve compile
times by up-to 30 percent compared to single-processor computers.
First 64-bit Windows Vista Support from an FPGA Vendor
Quartus II software continues to offer the broadest operating system (OS)
support to meet the needs of your design environments. With Quartus II
version 6.1, Altera was the first to introduce 64-bit Windows support with
Windows Professional XP x64. 64-bit Windows Vista support expands Altera.s
64-bit Window OS support. The expanded 64-bit Windows Vista support allows
you to utilize nearly unlimited computer memory to meet the needs of
high-density designs.
Additional Enhancements
Live I/O Checking Feature.Add real-time pin-out validation for faster
verification of pin placement and assignments. Expanded SOPC Builder.New
automatic insertion of adapters make finishing your Avalon. streaming
designs quicker and easier. Also, the revamped component editor includes
a faster GUI for adding your custom components and support for Avalon
streaming. New State Machine Diagram Entry.A new graphical state machine
design-entry tool to accelerate your design entry. SignalTap. II
Enhancements.Improved trigger condition settings to capture data based
on a sequential set of events and allow for faster chip debug. In
addition, SignalTap II offers enhanced segmented acquisition for better
use of the memory buffer and easier hardware verification.
TimeQuest Timing Analyzer.New clock-as-data feature lets you analyze timing
when clock signals are used as data, a feature not available in most
timing analysis tools. TimeQuest.s new waveform viewer also enables you
to visualize timing relationships for faster timing closure.
Simplified Linux Download.A new unified download and installation for
Quartus II Subscription Edition on the Linux operating system supports
faster software upgrades.
Buy Software Online.The #1 design software in performance and productivity
is now available for purchase on Altera.s eStore.
Quartus II Software Goes Green.Starting with version 7.2, Altera will no
longer automatically ship physical software upgrade boxes to customers.
