---|
6 | [ -n <N> ] [ -p <filename> ] [ -r <N> ] [ -t <time> ] [ -v <N> ] |
---|
7 | |
---|
8 | Simulates a network with a set of input vectors. Before calling this |
---|
9 | command, the user should create a partition (using the command |
---|
10 | build_partition_mdds). The simulation vectors can be provided by the user |
---|
11 | (using -f vectors_file), or generated randomly. |
---|
12 | |
---|
13 | Command options: |
---|
14 | |
---|
15 | -D <filename> |
---|
16 | File to dump randomly generated vectors. Primary input probability |
---|
17 | file SHOULD be specified with -p option. |
---|
18 | |
---|
19 | -d |
---|
20 | Perform event-driven true delay simulation. The fanout count of the |
---|
21 | nodes is used as an estimate for the node delay. Primary inputs are |
---|
22 | assumed to have arrival times of zero. |
---|
23 | |
---|
24 | -f <filename> |
---|
25 | File containing simulation vectors. The format is simple but strict |
---|
26 | and hence, few checks are made. The file format is as below: |
---|
27 | |
---|
28 | .i c n d o e p f q g r h s i t j u k a l b m |
---|
29 | .s |
---|
30 | 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 ; |
---|
31 | 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 ; |
---|
32 | 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 ; |
---|
33 | 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 ; |
---|
34 | The .i statement specifies the primary inputs of the network. The |
---|
35 | patterns start after .s key word. Each vector is a space separated |
---|
36 | list of bits and ends in a semi-colon. The length of any vector |
---|
37 | should be equal to the number of signals specified in the .i |
---|
38 | statement. A line starting with # is a comment. |
---|
39 | |
---|
40 | -g <filename> |
---|
41 | File to output random probabilities for primary inputs. Use this |
---|
42 | option ONLY to produce a vector of signal probabilities for primary |
---|
43 | inputs. This option does not proceed with simulation. |
---|
44 | |
---|
45 | -h |
---|
46 | Print a help message that details all options. |
---|
47 | |
---|
48 | -n <N> |
---|
49 | Number of patterns to simulate. The default is 1000. Use this option |
---|
50 | ONLY with -p option. |
---|
51 | |
---|
52 | -p <filename> |
---|
53 | File containing primary input probabilities. The format is as shown |
---|
54 | below: |
---|
55 | |
---|
56 | PI_Name1 0.67 |
---|
57 | PI_Name2 0.45 |
---|
58 | |
---|
59 | -r <N> |
---|
60 | Print PI/PO names after every N patterns simulated, for better |
---|
61 | readability of simulation output. This option is effective only when |
---|
62 | the verbosity flag is on. |
---|
63 | |
---|
64 | -T <filename> |
---|
65 | File containing node delay and load values. The file format is as |
---|
66 | shown below: |
---|
67 | |
---|
68 | node1 delay1 load1 |
---|
69 | node2 delay2 load2 |
---|
70 | The delay vaues are assumed as specified in a common unit. The same |
---|
71 | is true for load values too. |
---|
72 | |
---|
73 | -t <time> |
---|
74 | Time in seconds allowed to finish the simulation. The default is no |
---|
75 | limit. |
---|
76 | |
---|
77 | -v <N> |
---|
78 | Specify verbosity level, N. |
---|
