Hi, there,

I have a workstation with two Opteron processors with RedHat AS 3.0.

When the ModelSim 64bit version is running on it, I can only see 70%~90% usage by a "vsimk" process just on one processor, while another one is almost idle.

Does anyone have similar or different result?

Cheers

David
 

ModelSIM is a single kernel application. Thus, it only uses 1 processor. But, if you have both licenses for ModelSIM PE and SE, you should be able to run both ModelSIM application (one must be SE, and the other MUST be PE).

Same thing happens in ModelSim SE 5.8d on dual Athlon Win2k machine. It uses only one processor.
 

if not ModelSim, is there any simulator supporting multi-processor? How about NC-Sim or VCS?

cheers
