Aldec Active-HDL vs Riviera?

[Xilinx User]

I've looked through Aldec's online documentation, but I still can't figure
out the major differences between Active-HDL and Riviera? Also, how much do
they cost (for a Verilog/Systemverilog license)?

Sometimes the differences are performance for gate level simulation.

I think that ActiveHDL is more like Modelsim Designer--that is, it has a
graphical mode of entering code.

You really need to contact Aldec regarding pricing--anything anyone gives
you is probably too specific to their needs rather than yours.

Be careful with System Verilog support. It is quite limited in the
current release of Riviera (even simple classes don't work). From what I
understand, better support, including DPI is scheduled for later this
year.

If it matters to you, Riviera has much better licensing than Modelsim, I
think, including a Linux version for a reasonable price (Modelsim does
not have this--you can get Linux, but only at a much much higher price).
