Design compiler has its own *more primitive* timing engine called design time - which is essentially a poorman version of Primetime. It is used mainly for synthesis and timing check only if you do not have Primetime.
Primetime on the other hand is a signoff timing tool - mainly you signoff your design for tapeout with a spice correlation of 3-5% (couldn't remember how close to spice sim - see SNP website on Primetime).
