B.3. Setting Up Remote Farm Using Design Space Explorer II
To launch Design Space Explorer II, in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition GUI, click Tools > Launch Design Space Explorer II. Click Yes to the message that appears. This closes the Intel® Quartus® Prime software and launches the Design Space Explorer II.
Under the Project tab, click Open Project to add your project to the Design Space Explorer II. Refer to Project Page (Design Space Explorer II) for information about all options on this tab.
Use one of the following methods to set up your remote farm:
LSF Remote Farm
Follow these steps to set up your remote machine using the Design Space Explorer II and LSF remote compilation type:
- Ensure you have set up your LSF environment. If not, request your IT administrator to set up the LSF environment.
- Once the LSF environment is ready, launch the command line interface and execute the bsub sleep 60 command.
- Under the Setup tab, select Remote compilation type and choose the LSF option from the drop-down list. Populate all mandatory settings under Specify custom settings for LSF with the LSF environment-specific information.
Refer to Setup Page (Design Space Explorer II) for information about all options on this tab.
- Customize the settings as necessary.
- Under the Exploration tab, expand the Exploration Points section.
- Select Design exploration.
- Under Exploration Options, select Seed Sweep Only.
- Under Seeds, select Create. By default, it must be set to 2 seeds.
- Click Start. Wait until the design exploration is complete.
- Click the Results tab to review the status of the design exploration.
SSH Remote Farm
Follow these steps to set up your remote machine using the Design Space Explorer II and SSH remote compilation type:
- Install the open-source PuTTY Key Generator tool and launch it.
- Click Generate to generate the public/private key pair.
- Enter the key passphrase.
- Click Save private key to save the private key with a .ppk extension.
- Click Save public key to save the public key as putty_gen_public_key.pub.
- On your machine, change to the SSH directory and copy the contents of the putty_gen_public_key.pub file.
- In the Design Space, under the Setup tab, select SSH compilation type and specify the following:
- For Hostname, enter the server name.
- For private_key, enter the path to your private key (.ppk file).
- For SSH Client, enter the path to the plink.exe file. You can find this in the same directory where you installed the PuTTy tool.
- For Farm Operating System, enter your system type (linux or windows).
The remaining settings are similar to LSF settings. Refer to Setup Page (Design Space Explorer II) for information about all options on this tab.
- Under the Exploration tab, expand the Exploration Points section.
- Select Design exploration.
- Under Exploration Options, select Seed Sweep Only.
- Under Seeds, select Create. By default, it must be set to 2 seeds.
- Click Start. Wait until the design exploration is complete.
- Click the Results tab to review the status of the design exploration.
