Getting Started
+notimingcheck
Disables timing check system tasks in your design. Using this
option at runtime can improve the simulation performance of your
design, depending on the number of timing checks that this option
disables.
-ova_cov
Enables functional coverage reporting.
-ova_report
Generates an OVA report file in addition to printing results on
screen. The default file name and location is simv.vdb/report/
ova.report but you can specify a different name and location as
an argument to this option.
+vcs+learn+pli
Keeps track of where you use ACC capabilities for debugging
operations so that you can recompile your design and, in the next
simulation, enable them only where you need them. This is useful
because ACC capabilities have a performance cost so you only
want to enable them where you need them. With this option VCS
writes the pli_learn.tab secondary PLI table file. You provide
this file name with the +applylearn compile-time option when
you recompile your design.
