The Design Runs window is a useful starting point for analysis. It displays the state of the current runs. For more information, see Using the Schematic Window in the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Using the Vivado IDE (UG893).
The Design Runs window shows the status of runs (running, finished cleanly, or finished with errors).
Figure 1.
Design Runs Window
The Design Runs window columns show the following:
- The name of the run.
- The target part.
- The constraints set associated with a run.
- The run strategy.
- The status of the last completed step of a run.
- The progress of a run.
- The start time of a run.
- The elapsed time of a run during execution or the final runtime of a completed run.
- The timing score of a run: WNS, TNS, WHS, THS, WBSS, and TPWS (see Report Timing Summary for more information on these numbers). This is where you can quickly verify that a run meets timing. If it does not meet timing, you must start the analysis with the Timing Summary Report.
Note: WBSS represents the Worst Bus Skew Slack reported by
report_bus_skew. - The number of nets that were not successfully routed.
- The utilization of the design LUT, FF, block RAMs, DSP, and if applicable, UltraRAMs.
- The total power estimate.
- A brief description of the run strategy.
- Methodology check violations.
- Available QoR suggestions.
- The incremental mode of the design run.
When you select a run, the right-click menu allows operations such as opening a run for further analysis and setting up run features such as incremental compile or QoR suggestions.
