[Ghdl-discuss] Comparison of ghdl and Cadence Incisive

I'll need to do a functional comparison between GHDL and Cadence Incisive.
I just can throw a IP and it's TB at it to do some checks. However this is
not really an intelligent way to do it.

How could I approach this ?
Take the test suite of GHDL and run this in both simulators ?

best regards

Good question.
I'm pretty sure incisive support of VHDL is almost complete, but I have never used it.
You can try to run the VHDL test suite but I fear you will spend time to setup it for incisive and the results will be difficult to analyze or even not interesting at all.

Do you want to know missing features from VHDL or from incisive?

What would you compare?

A performance check?

Or what?

I need to prove that GHDL is giving me the same results as Incisive.
W'll be taping-out a design some where this year.
Although I have confidence GHDL is following the VHDL LRM I do not like
unexpected surprises after all.

Hello, in that case you'd better to use your design and your testbench.
They are certainly representative of your coding style and you know them well.
