What is: altera_mem_if_sequencer_cpu_no_ifdef_params_sim_cpu_inst.tr file and how to use it?

I am running an ArriaV design in simulation (QuartusPrime 21.1 with Cadence Xcelium). An in my simulation directory I get the following file: altera_mem_if_sequencer_cpu_no_ifdef_params_sim_cpu_in...

    Hi Tom,


    I can see which file that you are mentioning and it's a file that has been generated when running the simulation. This file actually captures the transaction of the simulation. So the size is depends on the transaction.

    If you want to disable this file, you can check in the testbench file located in the submodules folder.

    The name of the testbench file is altera_mem_if_sequencer_cpu_no_ifdef_params_sim_cpu_inst_test_bench.v.

    In the testbench file, you can scroll down until line 694 to 704. These lines will create the file and write the transactions into the file.

    By disabling lines 694 to 704, the file will not generated.

So the solution is to comment out some code in my INSTALL directory? I will accept that solution but a better one would be if you provided a switch I can set to disable this behavior if I want. Your assumption is that my INSTALL directory is NOT on a shared system of many users (that is my case) and I could just make this change. Which I cannot!

Thanks,
