The Vivado Design Suite provides metrics to inform you about logic and routing inside the device. They provide an interactive way of analyzing a design rather than a static report.

Use the following instructions to enable and configure metrics in the Device window:

  1. Make sure a design is open.
  2. Select Window > Metrics.
  3. To enable a metric, right-click and select Show. More than one metric can be added at a time.
  4. To disable a metric, right-click it and select Hide to remove it from the Device view.
  5. Select Hide All Metrics to clear all selected metrics at the same time.

The following figure shows an example of the LUT Utilization per CLB metric:
