Profiling the runtime of SystemVerilog Assertions

Hi all,

I'm concerned that a collection of assertion based checkers that I'm using are causing a dramatic slow down in the run time of my simulation. My hunch is that  the widespread use of multiple internal variables in some of the assertions are using vast amounts of memory and are thus negatively impacting the run time of the overall simulation.

How do I go about debugging such an issue? For example, I remember hearing that Incisive 8.2 was to have the ability to profile assertions - however when I tried out 8.20-p001 (and added the -profile option) I don't seem to be getting any additional profile information in the profile logfile?

 Any pointers o0r recommendations would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Daniel

    I got a similar report from one of my users. I asked him to run with profiler but he never got back to me.  Shalom
