3.6.2.4.28 MINIMIZE_MATH_BLOCKS
(Ask a Question)This constraint is used to enable optimizations targeting the reduction of math blocks usage. It mainly affects 2 optimizations: wide-multiplication split algorithm, and multiplication by constant strength reduction. By setting this constraint to 1, SmartHLS will try to minimize the number of math blocks which can increase the latency and/or the logic elements (LUTs, DFFs) usage.
