The Exploration Dashboard allows you to easily coordinate and view the compilation and timing results from multiple projects running on separate instances of the Quartus® Prime software. For example, you can analyze and compare versions of the same design that differ by RTL changes, or perhaps only differ by project settings. The Exploration Dashboard provides the power and flexibility to support multi-project analysis for a diverse range of work flows and analysis tasks.¹

The steps of the following walkthrough tutorial demonstrate how to launch and coordinate multiple instances of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software to simultaneously open, compile, and analyze different provided example design projects. This particular tutorial uses the SSH protocol to connect the software instances together. However, Exploration Dashboard also supports a variety of other common compute farm infrastructures for connecting to multiple software instances, such as Slurm Workload Manager, IBM Spectrum* LSF, and Altair PBS Professional*.
