| I'm just one of those eccentrics who think there's no Flash player like no Flash player ;-) But you made me interested enough to go fire up the page in another machine/browser with Flash. Hmm ... spring-loaded animated charts ... in the 'Logic utilization' tab, there seems to be a mismatch between the full-scale outline at the bottom and the section viewed. I tried AOL's webpage tester (http://www.webpagetest.org/result/100602_4TE/ ), to see how big was the Flash blob, but it timed out the first time. A few other observations: you may want to add a line explaining how many (equivalent) k-gates are in the sample design, and how long it took to get the results (at the 1X speed ?). Also, you may want to consider beefing up the 'How secure' answer in your FAQ. Guaranteed to come up. VNC session for GTKwave ? I think I saw some mention of VNC-in-browser recently ... Sign-up/sign-in worked OK. Thanks. P.S. Forgive me, I'm sure you put a lot of work on those charts, but I would really suggest exporting reports to a boring Open Office spreadsheet that people could download, manipulate at will and print (or even view with Google Docs or similar, if they're in all-web-all-the-time mode). |
In fact, you've already convinced us to do the spreadsheet export thing. I see your point there.
The Flash blob :) has a maximum width/height of 2880 pixels, I read.
Thanks again--we'll fix the charting bug and add the gatecount and runtime information.
The VNC interface is a stop-gap that we're trying desperately to get rid of. It's just too slow. Anything that requires installation is avoided as much as possible. (Except for Flash, unfortunately :) )
A recent HN post talked about Smokescreen, an open source Javascript/HTML5 that sounded interesting. Doesn't seem to be ready yet though.
Thanks!
