Hi ^^

Logic utilization (ALMs needed / total ALMs on device) 65,574 / 222,400

So yes, now i'm sure there is some memory not being properly infered into mlab / blockram.

Especialy when comparing the number of registers :
Dedicated logic registers 64,853
vs
Slice Registers | 17373

I will take a look at this.

Hmm same story for vexiiRiscv, it is less showing than for naxriscv, but for sure, some memory aren't being infered as memory.
I will take a look at that aswell.

Found a few issues :

  • Memories with asyncronous read aren't being infered as mlab (ramstyle = "MLAB, no_rw_check" fixes it)
  • By default Quartus seems to assume that read during write on MLAB will not happen (to improve timing) at the risk of creating metastable design !? Which seems crazy to me, if i understand well. There is an option to enable "MLAB Add Timing Constraints For Mixed-Port Feed-Through Mode Setting Don't Care" to avoid this (advanced fitter settings)
  • Memories with more than 2 asyncronous read ports aren't reconized by quartus (Fixed by automatic blackboxification in SpinalHDL + Ram_1w_1ra_Generic.v)

This reduce the gap quite a lot.
So, still, with a debian capable dual core, with very very relaxed timings and retiming disable, i still get 4k more register used (16% more) than on Artix 7. Which is weird as register usage is kinda a clean metric to compare things
I'm working on that.

Found a few issues :

  • Memories with asyncronous read aren't being infered as mlab (ramstyle = "MLAB, no_rw_check" fixes it)
  • By default Quartus seems to assume that read during write on MLAB will not happen (to improve timing) at the risk of creating metastable design !? Which seems crazy to me, if i understand well. There is an option to enable "MLAB Add Timing Constraints For Mixed-Port Feed-Through Mode Setting Don't Care" to avoid this (advanced fitter settings)
  • Memories with more than 2 asyncronous read ports aren't reconized by quartus (Fixed by automatic blackboxification in SpinalHDL + Ram_1w_1ra_Generic.v)

This reduce the gap quite a lot. So, still, with a debian capable dual core, with very very relaxed timings and retiming disable, i still get 4k more register used (16% more) than on Artix 7. Which is weird as register usage is kinda a clean metric to compare things I'm working on that.

@Dolu1990 This is great insight. Can you summarize what needed to change, or point to the changes you made in the repo for this? I would like to share this with our tools team.

@gsteiert Related to the lack of MLAB inferation I had to :

That was mostly it.
Another "big" change i did is to rework how the naxriscv register renaming design :
SpinalHDL/NaxRiscv@ba63ee6

The "MLAB Add Timing Constraints For Mixed-Port Feed-Through Mode Setting Don't Care" isn't fixed as far as i know, that would be a thing to handle in the quartus project itself.

Note that the SpinalHDL blackboxification of memories will decompose the 1 write + 3 async read into 3 * blackbox(1 write + 1 async read)

More generaly, when i have this verilog :

    always @ (posedge clk) begin
        if(wr_en) begin
           ram_block[wr_addr] <= wr_data;
        end
    end

    assign rd_data = ram_block[rd_addr];

I do assume that the synthesis tools would infer things into lut based RAM and that :

  • if i write at cycle 1, then i can read that written value at cycle 2 (same address)
  • if i write and read at cycle 1, then the readed value is the old value

I did had some issue with xilinx tool in the past, where they were infering it as a block ram (by merging the register which drive rd_addr) and violating the rule :

  • if i write at cycle 1, then i can read that written value at cycle 2 (same address)

I have to say, it is nice that NaxRiscv worked on Altera FPGA without having to debug things ^.^

I may have missed the reasons why without the (* ramstyle = "MLAB *) tag, quartus refused to infer things as mlab.
Fondamentaly, that was the main thing which was making the area crazy high.
