The Intelligent Design Run
Reports window, shown in the following figure, is divided into
two sections:
- Flow Progress
-
- Shows which stages have completed and which stages are currently running.
- Marks the best overall run with a dollar sign ($) and the best run within a stage with an asterisk (*).
- Flow Statistics
-
- Displays collected design statistics for timing and congestion.
- Provides hyperlinks to the reports generated in the IDR.

Intelligent Design Run
Reports Window
The IDR captures the following data:
- RQA score, collected throughout the run
- Congestion, collected at post-place and initial route stages
- Timing, collected at post-place, post-phys opt, and post-route stages only
Note: When stages have not been run or
no data exists for a metric, the value is shown as a hyphen (
-).Note: Timing numbers
collected in the IDR are typically estimates and might differ slightly from results
generated by
report_timing_summary.The generated reports are fixed and cannot be directly controlled by the user. To add extra reports, use Tcl hooks or generate them manually after opening checkpoints in the run directory. The equivalent text report is automatically created in the top-level run directory with the fixed name idr_flow_summary.rpt.
