Hi Board,
I am working on Power aware verification of my design using CPF. We have 2 power domains, an always on domain and a switchable power domain. The switchable power domain has 2 instances.
I was able to verify the design using CPF file. I was able to see the isolation rule getting applied and then the simulation passed with proper iso values when powered down.
My questions are,
1. Right now i am running handful of testcase using CPF file. I am running only testcase which does power down of the 2 instances in switchable power domain. Is it a good practice to run all the testcases with the CPF file?
2. Will the simulation performance degrade by running simulation with CPF files?
3. Will it be advantages to do so? Will i catch enough bugs when i have many testcase running when both the domains are Powered ON?
4. What is the industry practice on running simulation using CPF or UPF?
I would request someone to help me in finding answer to above questions.
Thanks,
Ram
