Manual configuration of remote hosts allows you to specify individual machine names on which Vivado can execute. Vivado will open a Secure Shell (SSH) on these machines and spawn additional Vivado processes. Host names can be added by clicking the add button shown in the following figure. Once added, the number of jobs per host can selected and hosts can optionally be disabled. Provide the specific command used to launch the jobs.

Optionally, you can configure pre- and post-launch scripts and an email address if you want the notification after the jobs complete.

Important: Use caution when specifying the “launch jobs with” command. For example, removing BatchMode=yes can cause the remote process to hang because the Secure Shell incorrectly prompts for an interactive password.

A “greedy,” round-robin style algorithm submits jobs to the remote hosts. Before launching runs on multiple Linux hosts, configure SSH so that the host does not require a password each time you launch a remote run.
