Meno

Meno is a tool for visualizing hierarchical data, such as directory tree sizes or synthesized circuit sizes. It can be built into a single, standalone HTML file.

Currently, Meno supports hierarchical area reports from Vivado, Genus, and DC, and hierarchical power reports from PrimeTime and Genus.

How to Use

Web Version

• Open this page and drag-and-drop your area (or power) report file.
  • You can try the unstable build here.
• Demo using the synthesis results of the RSD processor:
  • DEMO: Vivado RSD Area
  • DEMO: Design Compiler RSD Area

Use in Your Local Environment

• Download and extract the pre-built files from this link.
• Drag and drop an input file onto index.html to visualize it.
• To embed your input file into a standalone HTML, use embed.sh:

  # Generate an HTML file (your_area_report.txt.html) in the same directory.
  ./embed.sh your_area_report.txt
  
  # Launch a web server, which is useful to view the output HTML from a remote client. 
  ./launch_httpd.sh
