Hi.

I am curious about "Why do you use irun instead ncverilog?"

I usually used ncverilog. I think this is very simple.and good. Someday the people used irun .
I don't know irun.
Is there any benefit using irun instead ncverilog?

Hi,

As far as I know, there is no much difference between ncverilog and irun. ncverilog is old command and irun is new command and have some extra features has been added.

Thanks

Irun is a composite cadence command that include compilation, elaboration and simulation. instead of doing ncverilog, ncelab, ncsim separately, you can just run irun.

Hi Morris,

Please let me know if my understanding is correct or not. ncverilog is also composite command which does compilation, elaboration and simulation. where as ncvlog is for compilation, ncelab is for elaboration and ncsim is for simulation.

Thanks
