Course Description
In this course, you are introduced to the new Cadence® 3rd generation Xcelium™ simulator. You explore its Parallel Simulation features, how Xcelium is far more powerful than Incisive®, and the Incisive-to-Xcelium migration flow with an example demo video. You also learn about the multicore capability of Xcelium with a demo video. All concepts are explained with the help of hands-on labs.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Perform simulation using the Cadence Xcelium simulator tool for design verification and debugging
- Use the different commands of Xcelium simulator, starting with xrun with relevant options, to invoke the simulator, along with the SimVision™tool GUI interface, for simulating and debugging any given design, in both Single-Core and Multi-Core modes.
