How to get a free student copy of NC Verilog Simulator

Hi, 

    I am a Lamar University student. I need a Verilog Simulator for my project which is based on OpenSparc and I read somewhere that Cadence offers NC verilog at free of cost to University students.

    So I request you to guide me in getting a copy of it as soon  possible.

    Hello,

    I'm starting my project on the Front End Design Using Cadence Tool for Virginia Tech. So I will need NCVerilog and SimVision.  Where can I get a student copy? Or perhaps, I could also use the ModelSIM student edition, not sure what to start with though.

    My research is based on www.mics.ece.vt.edu/.../dg_front_analyze.html research paper writer Dr. Dong S. Ha

    Hi Stefan,

    We have a University program - it's not a "free student copy", but there is a mechanism for Universities to get access to Cadence software at a massively reduced price. See https://www.cadence.com/content/cadence-www/global/en_US/home/company/cadence-academic-network/university-software-program.html - this has email contacts so you can then ask who is the contact at your University responsible for the program. I see Virginia Tech are already  one of the member universities on the list that's linked to from that page.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
