Long-cycle tests need to be the focus and priority for all simulation runtime improvement efforts.
Non-stop growth in design size and complexity makes it more difficult than ever for verification teams to keep up with project demands and product goals. According to the Synopsys 2017 Global User Survey, “Verification taking longer than planned” is the top reason for tapeout delays, and “Simulation runtime performance” is the top challenge for verification. Since regression test turn-around time drives overall verification efficiency, it is essential to be able to continually reduce the runtime of long-cycle tests. Long-cycle tests determine the critical path for overall regression runtime, and they need to be the focus and priority for all simulation runtime improvement efforts.
