How can I speed up my VCS simulation?

How can I speed up my VCS simulation?

It is better to use latest versions of VCS as well as Vera to get fastest run times. Newer releases also add new switches to make simulations faster. Use following example to increase your run times. I have seen around 15% increase in performance after using newer switch.

What is DVE in VCS?

The primary tools we will use will be VCS (Verilog Compiler Simulator) and DVE, a graphical user interface to VCS for debugging and viewing waveforms. compiling your verilog source code, running the simulation, and. viewing the generated waveforms.

How do you simulate in VCS?

To start VCS Simulator from the command line (Windows)

  1. To simulate a cluster running a particular operating system, copy the types.cf.
  2. Add custom type definitions to the file, if required, and rename the file to types.cf.
  3. If you have a main.cf file to run in the simulated cluster, copy it to.
  4. Start VCS Simulator:

What is VCS Synopsys?

What is VCS import?

The vcs import command clones all repositories which are passed in via stdin in YAML format. Usually the data of a previously exported file is piped in: vcs import < my.repos. The import command also supports input in the rosinstall file format. Beside passing a file path the command also supports passing a URL.

What is VCS elaboration?

During elaboration, VCS MX builds the design hierarchy. By default, when you recompile the design, VCS MX compiles only those design units that have changed since the last elaboration. This is called incremental compilation. The incremental compilation feature is the default in VCS MX.

What is FSDB dump?

An FSDB file is a flat ASCII file used for storing simulation waveform data. It is similar to a VCD file. It is generated natively by an unsupported simulator called nWave (SpringSoft). You can convert it to VCD or preferably WLF (ModelSim) format for viewing.
