Hi John,
I read Gregg's recent post and just had to write in reply. Cadence's
Affirma NC Sim is not only a mixed-language, single-kernel simulator, but I
could easily make the argument that Affirma NC is actually the ONLY real
mixed-language single-kernel simulator available. MTI was a VHDL
simulator that they added Verilog support to, as opposed to Affirma NC Sim
which was designed from the ground up as a mixed-language simulator. This
is one of the reasons that we can offer very fast Verilog and very fast
VHDL simulation with no penalty for mixed-language simulation. Naturally,
all of our debug tools provide full support for both languages as well.
I'll spare you the full pitch but I did want to set the record straight. I
know that Affirma NC Sim is in use at Intel including sites in Chandler, AZ.
