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.
