Hi there
I have synthesized the same code targeting both Virtex5 and Virtex6. I 
was expecting to get same number of LUTs because both of them have 6 
input LUTs. However number of LUTs for the case of Virtex5 was less than 
that of Virtex6 by approximately 30 LUTs. Is there any justification for 
this? Thanks

Compared to a total sum of how many LUTs? 50 or 5000?

The amount of logic is only half of the story. A different FPGA has 
different routing ressources and different routing strategies. And maybe 
the logic uses less slices and the routing uses more slices. But also 
the Translate and the P&R algorithms are different....
