Re: VCS, NC-Verilog and Modelsim, which is the best simulato
Hi guys,
I voted for Modelsim, I'm so use to it... :?
I'm not sure if we should talk about licensing costs here, but...could we compare prices? people say Modelsim is cheap...how cheap? we use Modelsim in the company but not sure about the licensing costs...
Re: VCS, NC-Verilog and Modelsim, which is the best simulato
ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER OF THIS STUPID FORUMS WHAT IS BETTER ... SIMULATION ENVIROMENTS ARE VERY COMPLEX is not like somebody is using tons if this thigs so he can use at will and has a preference for a PARTICULIAR FLAVOR .. Is at first a matter of price then it migh be reqired by your employer ..
I hate to see a lot of this FORUMS asking for wich one is the best
Otherwise i suggest to answer
wich women are the best!
Italian ? swedish . mexican ,canadian ,french ,chinese ect .!
Few years ago Fintronic FinSim was the fastest Verilog simulator on the market. I am wandering is this company still alive.
I used a lot VCS and NC-verilog in the last couple of years and ModelSim and FinSim before that.
My vote is going to the Cadence (nc-verilog). From speed point of view it is similar to the VCS (and both are much faster then ModelSim). I found nc-verilog and cadence waveform viewer (SimVision) much more nice to work with (i don't wanna say user friendly) then VCS.
MODELSIM WORKS WELL ON PC AND MUCH EFFICIENT FOR A SMALL DESIGN!
NC AND VCS PERFORM BETTER ON WORKSTATION AND FOR BIG DESIGN !AND I THINK NC DO BETTER THAN VCS!
I agree with boor. In my experience, I have done simulation on VCS, Modelsim and VerilogXL with Debussy.
In my opinion, VCS and VerilogXL (+Debussy) is the best on unix platform. It is very easy to use and the most important is debugging. VerilogXL +Debussy make my life easier when debugging a large design.
As for Modelsim, it is cheap compare with those tier 1 tools (synopsys & cadence) and it works very well in windows. But for large design simulation, I migth consider other tools.
