Command-line Options for FPGA SPICE Generator
=================================================
All the command line options of FPGA-SPICE can be shown by calling the help menu of VPR. Here are all the FPGA-SPICE-related options that you can find:
FPGA-SPICE Supported Options::
--fpga_spice
--fpga_spice_dir <directory_path_output_spice_netlists>
--fpga_spice_print_top_testbench
--fpga_spice_print_lut_testbench
--fpga_spice_print_hardlogic_testbench
--fpga_spice_print_pb_mux_testbench
--fpga_spice_print_cb_mux_testbench
--fpga_spice_print_sb_mux_testbench
--fpga_spice_print_cb_testbench
--fpga_spice_print_sb_testbench
--fpga_spice_print_grid_testbench
--fpga_spice_rename_illegal_port
--fpga_spice_signal_density_weight <float>
--fpga_spice_sim_window_size <float>
--fpga_spice_leakage_only
--fpga_spice_parasitic_net_estimation_off
--fpga_spice_testbench_load_extraction_off
--fpga_spice_sim_mt_num <int>
.. note:: FPGA-SPICE requires the input of activity estimation results (\*.act file) from ACE2.
Remember to use the option --activity_file <act_file> to read the activity file.
.. note:: To dump full-chip-level testbenches, the option -fpga_spice_print_top_testbench should be enabled.
.. note:: To dump grid-level testbenches, the options -- fpga_spice_print_grid_testbench, -- fpga_spice_print_cb_testbench and -- fpga_spice_print_sb_testbench should be enabled.
.. note:: To dump component-level testbenches, the options fpga_spice_print_lut_testbench, --fpga_spice_print_hardlogic_testbench, --fpga_spice_print_pb_mux_testbench, --fpga_spice_print_cb_mux_testbench and --fpga_spice_print_sb_mux_testbench should be enabled.

"--fpga_spice", "Turn on the FPGA-SPICE."
"--fpga_spice_dir <dir_path>", "Specify the directory that all the SPICE netlists will be outputted to. <dir_path> is the destination directory."
"--fpga_spice_print_top_testbench", "Print the full-chip-level testbench for the FPGA."
"--fpga_spice_print_lut_testbench", "Print the testbenches for all the LUTs."
"--fpga_spice_print_hardlogic_testbench", "Print the test benches for all the hard logic."
"--fpga_spice_print_pb_mux_testbench", "Print the testbenches for all the multiplexers in the logic blocks."
"--fpga_spice_print_cb_mux_testbench", "Print the testbenches for all the multiplexers in Connection Boxes."
"-- fpga_spice_print_sb_mux_testbench", "Print the testbenches for all the multiplexers in Switch Blocks."
"--fpga_spice_print_cb_testbench", "Print the testbenches for all the CBs."
"--fpga_spice_print_sb_testbench", "Print the testbenches for all the SBs."
"--fpga_spice_print_grid_testbench", "Print the testbenches for the logic blocks."
"--fpga_spice_rename_illegal_port", "Rename illegal port names"
"--fpga_spice_signal_density_weight <float>", "Set the weight of signal density."
"--fpga_spice_sim_window_size <float>", "Set the window size in determining the number of clock cycles in simulation."
"--fpga_spice_leakage_only", "FPGA-SPICE conduct power analysis on the leakage power only."
"--fpga_spice_parasitic_net_estimation_off", "Turn off the parasitic net estimation technique."
"--fpga_spice_testbench_load_extraction_off", "Turn off the load effect on net estimation technique."
"--fpga_spice_sim_mt_num <int>", "Set the number of multi-thread used in simulation"
.. note:: The parasitic net estimation technique is used to analyze the parasitic net activities which improve the accuracy of power analysis. When turned off, the errors between the full-chip-level and grid/component-level testbenches will increase."
