部分编译/增量编译

% rm -rf simv* csrc* partition* *dir*
% vlogan -sverilog ./src/rtl.v ./src/test.v
% vcs -sverilog -partcomp -simcopy top
% cp -r simv.daidir/partitionlib ./some/user/path/last_pc_db
% cd ./some/user/path/

并行编译

You can improve the compile-time performance by specifying the number of parallel processes VCS can launch for the native code generation phase of the compilation/elaboration. You should specify this using the compile-time option -j, as shown below:

% vcs -j<num_of_process> [options] top_entity/module/config

vcs -j4 top

Top module/entity/config "uvm_custom_install_recording" is not found

Question:

I get the following error. What is the cause of this issue?

Error-[TMENF-ILL] Top Module/Entity not found
  Top module/entity/config "uvm_custom_install_recording" is not found in the 
  following library list.
  Liblist: DEFAULT

1 error
CPU time: .091 seconds to compile

 common elaboration failed
make: *** [error] Error 255

Answer:

The above error occurs in VCSMX UUM flow with partition compile when UVM
package is not analyzed separately without any source files.

As per VCSMX documentation at "VCS� MX / VCS� MXi Release Notes > VCS� MX / VCS� MXi 
Release Notes F-2011.12-SP1
> Using UVM With VCS > Natively Compiling and Elaborating UVM-1.1a", the use model 
is as follows:
-----------------------------------------------
For a mixed-HDL or UUM environment, compile UVM-1.1a with vlogan using the following command:

% vlogan -ntb_opts uvm [compile_options] 
// no source files here!

% vlogan -ntb_opts uvm [compile_options] \

   
    

Note:
- Complete the first step that compiles the UVM library before using the subsequent command. The first vlogan call
  compiles the UVM library. This is without any user source files specified.
- In specific cases, the subsequent vlogan command might error out with Error-[UM] Undefined Macro. In this scenario
  you must explicitly add `include uvm_macros.svh to the file getting this error.

Elaborate the design as follows:

% vcs -ntb_opts uvm [elab_options] 
    
     
-----------------------------------------------

Add "vlogan -ntb_opts <Your UVM version>" before any other analysis commands like 'vlogan' to avoid this
issue.
