An advanced mission critical dependency management platform for developing and executing flows.
Discover FlowTracer functionality with interactive tutorials.
FlowTracer is a complete system to create, manage, and execute design flows.
This manual is aimed at the person who will be the administrator for FlowTracer. This person will be responsible for configuring the network resources, setting up the licensing, and establishing security and access rules for the system.
When using FlowTracer in large deployments, three main roles emerge: Administrator, Developer and User. In smaller organizations, a given person may have multiple roles, but the duties of each role still exist.
To ensure the correct and repeatable behavior of the tools, the environment must be controlled. This chapter explains how VOV supports multiple reusable environments.
The trace is built using a combination of techniques.
The patented technique of Runtime Change Propagation Control (RCPC) provides the ability to stop the propagation of insignificant changes through the flow.
FlowTracer captures your design in design flows described by Flow.tcl files. The Flow Library is meant to help users locate and deploy instances of packaged flows bound to their specific design data.
The files used in a project reside in one or more directories spread all around your filesystems. Each logical name defined in the equiv.tcl file implicitly declares the root of a workspace. You can browse the workspaces using the browser interface.
The Resource Map Set represents the collection of resource maps that have been assigned to a project and the constraints associated with such resources.
Every change in the trace is recorded as an event, which is then sent to all clients that subscribe to them.
From Tcl, you can control both the taskers and the jobs running on the remote taskers with the procedure vtk_job_control.
The Tcl interface allows you to manipulate the trace using Tcl scripts. This chapter covers the basics about writing Tcl scripts and executing them in VOV. In fact, most VOV commands such as vsr and vovforget are implemented by means of Tcl scripts.
Every set has a name and the name must be unique.
Generates a file in FDL (i.e. Tcl), C-Shell, or Makefile syntax from a subset of the trace.
