Hi folks:

Does anyone have some hard numbers regarding the performance of commercial
simulators such as Verilog, Lsim, Vantage (VHDL), Synopsys (VHDL). Particularly,
I am looking for:
  -  Behavioral simulation performance
  -  Gate-level (non-accelerated)
  -  Gate-level (accelerated e.g. XL)

Also, is there any organization out there doing independent benchmarking ?
Thanks.
