@@ -195,5 +195,5 @@ When building the verilator simulator there are some additional options:
The ``VERILATOR_THREADS=<num>`` option enables the compiled Verilator simulator to use ``<num>`` parallel threads.
On a multi-socket machine, you will want to make sure all threads are on the same socket by using ``NUMACTL=1`` to enable ``numactl``.
By enabling this, you will use CHipyard's ``numa_prefix`` wrapper, which is a simple wrapper around ``numactl`` that runs your verilated simulator like this: ``$(numa_prefix) ./simulator-<name> <simulator-args>``.
By enabling this, you will use Chipyard's ``numa_prefix`` wrapper, which is a simple wrapper around ``numactl`` that runs your verilated simulator like this: ``$(numa_prefix) ./simulator-<name> <simulator-args>``.
Note that both these flags are mutually exclusive, you can use either independently (though it makes sense to use ``NUMACTL`` just with ``VERILATOR_THREADS=8`` during a Verilator simulation).
