IFV and IUS, what's the difference?

archive

Hello Cadence,

There are two similar simulation environment: IFV and IUS. Who know what's the difference with them? And one is another one's super set?

Best regards,
Davy

  • As an early user of IFV (it used to be called ISV then, back in 2003 timeframe during our PSL book) I found it extremely useful. Assuming you add assertions anyway the flow was really simple as IUS itself:

    ncvlog -f flist
    ncelab top
    isv top (Instead of ncsim top)

    It was incredibly seamless to use as a flow (though the tool in its beta/alpha stages had issues).

    And as Steph mentioned, the debug was another sweet spot - use SimVision, same as with NC.

    So it is almost like you can get rid of writing those throw away block level TBs.

    Please read our PSL/SVA book on FV chapter (www.abv-psl.org). We showed live/toy design of a traffic light controller and some interesting applications of this technology.
