MAP: The meaning of the Map packing strategy options


Problem Description:
Urgency: standard

General description:
This solution clarifies what the 3 packing strategies available
in the M1 Mapper do.


Solution 1:

The three Mapper packing strategy settings control the
packing of unrelated logic into the same CLB. The settings
are as follows:

1) Minimum Density

Start packing unrelated logic together in CLBs from the very
beginning of the mapping process.

2) Fit Device

Start packing unrelated logic together in CLBs once 97% of
the device has been used.

3) Off

Never pack unrelated logic together in CLBs.
