CDC Functional Checks taking too much time.

Hi there,

I am currently engaged in closure of CDC functional checks but to my frustration the run for CDC functional checks is taking a great deal of time and till now its just too slow to see it finish. I would like to know if there is any way on how I may investigate this problem and hopefully speed the runtime considerably. The design has a gate count of around 2.8 million.

FYI: There are no errors received during the run.

    You mentioned CDC functional checks which apparently means multiple cycle checks as opposed to the first level static checks.

    Functional checks involve resetting flops and proper design set-up before checking. With multiple cycles the potential function can become very compilicated quickly. Especially for a large design like your own.

    I don't know if there is a "one size fits all" type of solution in this case. I think the best way to investigate is to contact Cadence support and talk to them. If you find a solution please share it with us!
