2.3.3.1. Comparing .smh Critical Bits Report to Utilized Bit Count

The number of design critical bits that the Compiler reports during .smh generation correlates to the utilized bits in the report, but it is not the same value. The difference occurs because the .smh file includes all bits in a resource, even when the resource usage is partial.
