The TimeQuest timing analyzer is a powerful ASIC-style timing analysis tool that validates the timing performance of all logic in a design using industry standard constraint, analysis, and reporting methodology 

Synopsis Design Constraints (SDC)

tool command language (Tcl)

 Intel FPGAs must operate in a continuum of conditions. 

 These conditions include the die junction temperature, which varies depending upon the design's requirements. Commercial parts have a legal range of 0°C to 85°C and industrial parts have a legal range of -40°C to 100°C. There are even wider temperature ranges, such as those for automotive and military devices. 

 Another aspect of the operating conditions is the voltage supply levels. The most critical voltages for maintaining FPGA performance is the Vcc and the various I/O supplies. Each of the supply voltages has a legal operating range. For example, a subset of Stratix® IV FPGAs has a valid Vcc range of 0.87 V to 0.93 V. 

 The third aspect of the operating conditions is the relative speed of each FPGA versus the limit of the speed grade with which it is marked. This is one aspect that the designer has no control over. It should also be noted that devices within one speed grade can still differ slightly in performance, predominantly due to variation in the manufacturing process. All devices, however, are guaranteed to be faster than the limit of the speed grade.

3.4.4 Measuring time

In wave viewer, select from top menus Add -> Cursor. Now you'll see 2 vertical lines (cursors). You can easily drag them and see the time interval between on the bottom. This is very handy when have to measure the execution time (or signal frequency). Just divide the time with the duration of a clock period to derive the number of clock cycles.
