The Need for Speed: Understanding Design Factors that Make Multi-core Parallel Simulations Efficient
The intent of this article is to educate customers and guide them to understand what makes a design multicore friendly. This can help customers write designs and testbenches to be more suited for parallel simulations. Cases of success and failures of QuestaSim MC2 deployments and the lessons learned from them form the basis of our analysis and substantiate our suggestions in this article.
