How to run benchmarks

Yosys

To synthesize the designs using Yosys (incl. ABC1/9), use the yosys_synth_all.sh script.

./yosys_synth_all.sh -i ~/workspace/staging_fpga_benchmarks/design_files/vtr_bench_with_ram -yp ~/workspace/yosys-fpga-benchmarks/yosys -yc "-dff -flatten -noiopad -abc9" -o ~/workspace/staging_fpga_benchmarks/tmpout --scratchpad "-set xilinx_dsp.multonly 1"

Use the command line parameters to specify exactly which commands should be passed to Yosys. The Yosys version we used is available here, checkout the corresponding branch: https://github.com/benlcb/yosys-fpga-benchmarks

Vivado

If you have access to Vivado, you may use the other scripts in /scripts/ to run Vivado and perform design analysis. vivado_run_all.sh will attempt to run design synthesis of multiple designs in parallel using LSF. vivado_yosys.sh performs the binary search on a design over different clock delay targets.

Resulst can then be collected like this:

scripts/collect_results.py --from_dir runs

This should generate a .csv for each device and grade for which there are results.

Simulation

Simulation examples can be found in /simulation/, but Vivado is necessary to execute the script. Adjust the file paths and then simply execute run.sh in the SIM folder of the design under test.
