    The key takeaways are that the SpyGlass multi-mode analysis flow allows for easy setup, parallel analysis of multiple modes, incremental analysis, and centralized viewing of results.

    The steps involved in setting up SpyGlass are to copy the reference package, populate required source files, add design information to the design setup file, and use the setup_spyglass script.

    SpyGlass results are analyzed by running each mode, with results stored in individual directories. Result collation creates a summary page linking to each mode's dashboard for health status. Incremental runs highlight new and resolved violations.

    Step1: Setup SpyGlass

    Setup Run & Analyze


    SG Collate Results
    Requirements:
     Copy the reference package “spyglass_regression” in your current working area
     Populate the required source files(e.g sources.f, tech_lib.tcl etc) as required for
    successful Design Read
     Add the design information in the design setup(design.setup) file
    SG setup script use model:
    % setup_spyglass -top=<design_top_name> (Must)
    -sdcfile=<list of sdc> (Must)
    -mode=<STA_mode_name> (Optional)

    How to view/debug SpyGlass design read results:


    % debug_spyglass -setup -top=<design_top_name>
    Key Benefits:
     SG setup is very much simplified, user needs to just provide bare minimum inputs and
    does not have to worry about creation of SG setup files.
     SpyGlass Constraint File(SGDC) gets created automatically
     One time process 3

    SG Collate Results
    Requirements:
     SG setup done
     Make sure that design is read successfully and there are no unknown
    blackboxes, elaboration/synthesis/syntax/SDC errors.

    SG setup script use model:


    % run_spyglass -top=<design_top_name> (Must)
    -mode=<STA_mode_name or list of modes> (Optional, default=all)
    -incr (Optional)

    Result Collation – Complete Run
    Summary page is created to provide status of each of the modes
    (sg_main_dashboard.html)
     This is extracted from the individual run directories
     Clicking on the goal status brings up the dashboard for that run

    Result Collation – Incremental Run
    In the incremental mode, the report compares the violations reported
    in the previous run and the current mode
     It highlights where we have new violations as well as where violations have gone
    down

    Summary
    Easy to use and adopt

    All STA modes can be analyzed in parrallel, which results in huge


    saving in run time.

    All STA modes can be analyzed in incremental mode to check the


    impact of incremental changes/updates made to design, SDC files.

    Results of all modes linked to a central web page and health of a


    particular STA mode can be checked just with few clicks.

     More SG checks/goals can be added as required


     Can easily be used as Constraints analysis regression setup
