Memory profiling for co-simulation

All,
I am doing co-simulation of RTL and Cmodel in an NTB (OpenVera)
based framework. I notice that the memory usage is sometimes
ridiculously high for sims. Are there any tools available to profile
memory usage for VCS sims ? I am particularly interested in having a
tool that intercepts all malloc/free/new/delete etc. calls and
provides me traces of call stacks for each of these types of calls
when I run the sims.

Thanks,

- Tanmoy

Hi,
May be a trivial thing for me to ask, still - did you try the
profiler that comes along with VCS? Also, please feel free to contact
me @

svenkat AT synopsys DOT COM for more indepth look at this issue,
though I don't handle it myself, I am interested in this and can sure
direct you the right contact - if you think that will be useful to
you.
