Simulations can appear to run slowly under some circumstances. If a simulation is unacceptably slow (greater than one hour for the provided sample simulation to reach successful conclusion), the following suggestions might improve the runtime performance.
- Use a faster computer with more memory.
- Make use of a Platform Load Sharing Facility (LSF) if available in your organization.
- Bypass the AMD transceiver (this might require that you create your own test bench).
- Send fewer packets. This can be accomplished by modifying the appropriate parameter in the provided sample testable.
- Specify a shorter metaframe length. This should result in a shorter lane alignment phase, at the expense of more overhead. However, when the Interlaken IP core is finally implemented in hardware, the metaframe length should follow the specification recommendations. Contact AMD Adaptive Support for assistance if required.
