Using the Design Runs Window - 2022.2 English

The Design Runs window is a useful starting point for analysis. It displays the state of the current runs. For more information, see this link in the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Using the Vivado IDE (UG893).

If the run is running, finished cleanly, or finished with errors, the Design Runs window appears when a run is done.

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.
