FPGA Tool Performance Visualization Library (FTPVL)

FTPVL is a library for simplifying the data collection and visualization process for Symbiflow development. Although it was made with Symbiflow in mind, it is highly extensible for future integration with other software.

Example Usage

Take a look at the notebooks below to demonstrate the functionality of FTPVL.

1. Using HydraFetcher and Processors
2. Styling tables with SingleTableVisualizer
3. Comparing two Evaluations using the internal dataframe
4. Filtering and Aggregating an Evaluation
5. Comparing multiple Evaluations
