Figure 3–7 shows the Resource Usage Summary in the Quartus II
software Compilation Report for a design targeting the Stratix device
family. The Compilation Report provides the total number of LEs used by
the design and the average fan-out. You can view the Fitter Resource
Utilization by Entity section of the Compilation Report or use the
Hierarchies tab of the Project Navigator to determine how many LEs are
in each entity. Using this information from the Compilation Report, you
can enter in the appropriate information into the PowerPlay early power
estimator. Figure 3–8 shows the Stratix device PowerPlay early power
estimator and the estimated power consumed by the LEs in this design.
