In this tutorial, you learn to use Dataflow Viewer (DFV) to analyze a design. The Dataflow Viewer allows you to better understand key parts of a design that impact overall place and route quality. This is achieved by:
- Identifying wide, high bandwidth buses in the stripped-down dataflow optimized netlist.
- Identifying the cells associated with these buses whose placement have a significant impact on the placement quality of the design.
- Generating paths of multiple cells related to the target wide buses that facilitate a more holistic view of placement.
- Generating a floorplan that joins associated cells on a bus together.
