EMIF Questa Simulation very slow

[dsun01]

Dear Intel Support/FPGA Expert, 

I instantiate an Arria 10 GX Develop board DDR4 72bit EMIF in an ultrasound system. the EMIF itself will reduce the whole system simulation speed for almost 10 times. with this module enabled, the simulation runs about 13ns for every second. if I disable this module, the simulation can run 130ns per second. 

Is there any way to accelerate the simulation speed with this EMIF module?

here is another question, I have posted on the forum before. 

while running the simulation with emif enabled, it will show this kind information, is there a parameter that I can turn it off.

Thank you,

Hi David,

There is one way to make the simulation running faster.

You can enable the Abstract-PHY mode together with the Skip Calibration mode in the EMIF IP.

When you make a change in the EMIF IP, you have to regenerate the IP.

Hi Adzim 

I haven't try it yet. I accept as a solution, if I have any further question I will open a new topic. thank you very much.
