Hi, all According to this article at emi_debug.pdf on page 8: Table 1–1. Typical Simulation Times Using UniPHY IP, skip calibration should take only 3 minutes. My DDR3 UniPHY design is very ...

Hi, Tricky

Thanks for reply.

The altera starter edition has the slowest simulation speed. For faster simulations, you need to purchase a better licence. The more you pay, the faster the simulation.

May I know what is the better licence version to boost the simulation speed? May I know where to see the license price?

Here's my findings.

By referring to the link below:

https://www.altera.com/products/design-software/model---simulation/modelsim-altera-software.html

I found out that payable ModelSim-Altera Edition Software, it only improve 33 % faster simulation performance than ModelSim®-Altera® Starter Edition software.

Also, may i know what is line limitations mean? For ModelSim Altera Starter pack, the line limitation only up to 10k.
