Node Collapsing
Istype 'keep' Do not collapse this node.
Istype 'collapse' Collapse this node.
Collapsing provides multi-level optimization for combinational logic. Designs
with arithmetic and comparator circuits generally generate large number of
product terms which will not fit to any programmable logic device. Node
collapsing allows you to describe equations in terms of multi-level combinational nodes,
then collapse the nodes into the output until it reaches the product term you
specify. The result is an equation that is optimized to fit the device
constraints.
