12 | | The On Board Peripherals Template Project contains the full suite of hardware components offered by a standalone WARP v3 board. The Lite version has the same basic architecture, but omits the SDRAM controller and Ethernet MACs. As a result, the Lite project will build faster. |

14 | | For reference, on a PC with a 3.4GHz i7-2600 processor, 16GB of RAM and running Windows 7 64-bit, build times of the template projects are: |
15 | | |
16 | | ||= Project =||= Build Time =|| |
17 | | || On Board Periphs || 17 minutes || |
18 | | || Lite || 9 minutes || |
19 | | |
20 | | Note: These times are from projects that had hardware "cleaned" such that no cached support files were used. When iterating on a design, build times will be faster as XPS re-uses cached netlists for unmodified cores. |
