synthesis speed of FPGA vs cpld

[drba]

i tested small program by using Xilinx fpga ,then with cpld.
i observed fpga is taking more time for synthesis.
i am very much curious to know the answer for this.

FPGAs have more logic elements and registers than a CPLD (usually).

Yes, tool takes more time for synthesis for fpga than cpld as FPGA has more resources to be managed for than a cpld. Also algorithms may vary depending on device.
