MODELSIM XE (MTI): How is the performance affected by the number of lines in the HDL source file?



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
Problem Description:

How is the performance affected by the number of lines in the HDL source file?


Solution 1:

0 - 4,000 HDL statements, runs at ~20% of ModelSim PE performance
4,001 - 30,000 HDL statements, runs at ~10% of ModelSim PE performance
over 30,000 HDL statements, ~1% of ModelSim PE performance

Also, ModelSim XE can only perform timing simulations on Xilinx products.
