Seed – Altera Quartus II Settings File User Manual
Page 735
SEED
Specifies the starting value the Fitter uses when randomly determining the initial placement for the
current design. The value can be any non-negative integer value. Changing the starting value may or may
not produce better fitting. Specify a starting value only if the Fitter is not meeting timing requirements by
a small amount. The Design Space Explorer tool lets you sweep many seed values easily to find the best
value for a given project. Modifying the design or Quartus settings even slightly will usually change which
seed is best for the design.
