Profiler (Performance Metrics)

Category : Simulation/Verification

The Profiler identifies design units or code sections that put the greatest strain on the simulator. This information is valuable for optimizing the simulation environment and improving performance. Typical uses of the design profiler to reduce simulation times are:

• Optimize file access routines in your testbench
• Optimize pre-verified design modules that do not require debugging
• Move time-consuming modules to a hardware accelerator
