In the world of analog design, IP3—the third order intercept point, is a known parameter that is used to measure the linearity in the radio frequency (RF) components. The extracted IP3 values are very essential to determine the operating power ...(read more)

I have a modeless informational dialog box defined at the beginning of a SKILL script, but its contents don't display until the script finishes.

How do you get a modeless dialog box contents to display while a SKILL script is running?

procedure(myproc()

   prog((myvars)

     hiDisplayAppDBox()    ; opens blank dialog box - no dboxText contents show until script completes!

     ....rest of SKILL code in script...launches child processes

   );prog

);proc

Hi All,

I'm trying to understand checkpoint concept. When I found save and restart concept in cdnshelp, There is just describing about "$save" and "xrun -r "~~~".

and I found also the below link about save restart and it saves your time.

But I can't find any benefits from my experiment from save&restart article( I fully agree..the article)

Ok, So I'v got some experiment  Here.

1. I declared $save and got the below result as I expected within the simple UVM code.

In UVM code...

$display("TEST1");
$display("TEST2");
$save("SAVE_TEST");
$display("TEST3");
$display("TEST4");

And I restart at "SAVE_TEST" point by xrun -r "SAVE_TEST", I've got the below log

xcelium> run
TEST3
TEST4

Ok, It's Good what I expected.(The concept of Save and Restore is simple: instead of re-initializing your simulation every time you want to run a test, only initialize it once. Then you can save the simulation as a “snapshot” and re-run it from that point to avoid hours of initialization times. It used to be inconvenient. I agree..)

2. But The Problem is that I can't restart with modified code. Let's see the below example.

I just modified TEST5 instead of "TEST3"

$display("TEST1");
$display("TEST2");
$save("SAVE_TEST");
$display("TEST5"); //$display("TEST3");
$display("TEST4");

and I rerun with xrun -r "SAVE_TEST", then I've got the same log

xcelium> run
TEST3
TEST4

There is no "TEST5". Actually I expected "TEST5" in the log.From here We know $save can't support partially modified code after $save. 

Actually, through this, we can approach to our goal about saving developing time. 

So I want to know Is there any possible way that instead of re-initializing our simulation every time we want to run a test, only initialize it once and keep developing(debugging) our code ?

If we do, Could you let me know the simple example?

Joules RTL Power Solution provides a cockpit for RTL designers to explore and optimize the power efficiency of their designs. But this capability is now not just limited to RTL designers!! Yes, you as a synthesis designer too can use the power analysis capabilities of Joules from within Genus Synthesis Solution!!

But:

• How to do it?
• Is there any specific switch required?
• What is the flow/script when Joules is used from within Genus?
• Are all the Joules commands supported?

To answer to all these questions is just a click away in the form of video on “Genus-Joules Integration”; refer it on https://support.cadence.com (Cadence login required).

File Sharing and Chat version 1.0 for iOS suffers from a denial of service vulnerability.

RSA BSAFE SSL-J versions prior to 6.2.4 contain a heap inspection vulnerability that could allow an attacker with physical access to the system to recover sensitive key material. RSA BSAFE SSL-J versions prior to 6.2.4 contain a covert timing channel vulnerability during RSA decryption, also known as a Bleichenbacher attack on RSA decryption. A remote attacker may be able to recover a RSA key. RSA BSAFE Crypto-J versions prior to 6.2.4 and RSA BSAFE SSL-J versions prior to 6.2.4 contain a covert timing channel vulnerability during PKCS #1 unpadding operations, also known as a Bleichenbacher attack. A remote attacker may be able to recover a RSA key.

This Metasploit module is an exploit that takes advantage of xglance-bin, part of HP's Glance (or Performance Monitoring) version 11 and subsequent, which was compiled with an insecure RPATH option. The RPATH includes a relative path to -L/lib64/ which can be controlled by a user. Creating libraries in this location will result in an escalation of privileges to root.

Trend Micro Maximum Security is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution as it allows for creation of registry key to target a process running as SYSTEM. This can allow a malware to gain elevated privileges to take over and shutdown services that require SYSTEM privileges like Trend Micros "Asmp" service "coreServiceShell.exe" which does not allow Administrators to tamper with them. This could allow an attacker or malware to gain elevated privileges and tamper with protected services by disabling or otherwise preventing them to start. Note administrator privileges are required to exploit this vulnerability.

rpc.pcnfsd suffers from a syslog related format string vulnerability. IBM AIX versions 6.1.0 and below, IRIX 6.5 and HP-UX versions 11.11, 11.23 and 11.31 are all affected.

Patch for the xine/gxine CD player that was found susceptible to a remote format string bug. The vulnerable code is found in the xine-lib library that both xine and gxine use. The vulnerable versions are at least xine-lib-0.9.13, 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2 and 1.1.0.

This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability on the lrFileIOService ActiveX, as installed with HP LoadRunner 11.50. The vulnerability exists in the WriteFileString method, which allow the user to write arbitrary files. It's abused to drop a payload embedded in a dll, which is later loaded through the Init() method from the lrMdrvService control, by abusing an insecure LoadLibrary call. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on IE8 on Windows XP. Virtualization based on the Low Integrity Process, on Windows Vista and 7, will stop this module because the DLL will be dropped to a virtualized folder, which isn't used by LoadLibrary.
