@ -87,12 +87,11 @@ thread is about 100 times faster than interpreted Verilog simulators such
as `Icarus Verilog`_. Another 2-10x speedup might be gained from
multithreading (yielding 200-1000x total over interpreted simulators).
Verilator has typically similar or better performance versus
closed-source Verilog simulators (e.g., Carbon Design Systems Carbonator,
Modelsim/Questa, Cadence Incisive/NC-Verilog, Synopsys VCS, VTOC, and
Pragmatic CVer/CVC). But, Verilator is open-sourced, so you can spend on
computes rather than licenses. Thus, Verilator gives you the best
simulation cycles/dollar.
