Simplify Scripting Environment using Qrun Capabilities in QuestaSim
In this session, we’ll walk you through the qrun flow and talk about the various scenarios where it can help over the traditional flow. We will also dive into our new QIS flows that help balance performance and design access. Our Visualizer debug environment is now part of every QuestaSim! We will walk through how to launch Visualizer from qrun and show you the benefits of running Visualizer. We’ll also be showcasing a new feature as part of the Visualizer presentation.

Session Overview
Simulation can be run in different ways, there is the GUI driven approach where you’d launch QuestaSim and run simulations using the GUI options, Or you can automate the process by using scripts. There are many ways you can write scripts: tcl, do, perl, bash, makefiles and so on. The common element in all of these different scripting languages are the QuestaSim commands.
Traditionally QuestaSim commands are split into compilation, optimization and elaboration, followed by running the simulation. Furthermore, the compilation stage has different commands based on the language of the file you are compiling. Each of these commands in turn have switches that a similar in some cases but in some cases it’s vastly different. When you add up all these factors, running the automated scripting flow might seem like a complex challenge.
Qrun simplifies this by bringing all the stages together using a single command with fewer switches and a much cleaner output. Furthermore, Qrun has some intelligence built into it that helps with different scenarios you face when running simulations.
In this session, we’ll walk you through the Qrun flow and talk about the various scenarios where it can help over the traditional flow. We will also dive into our new QIS flows that help balance performance and design access. Our Visualizer debug environment is now part of every QuestaSim! We will walk through how to launch Visualizer from qrun and show you the benefits of running Visualizer. We’ll also be showcasing a new feature as part of the Visualizer presentation.
