For a Verilator simulation, this will generate a vcd file (vcd is a standard waveform representation file format) that can be loaded to any common waveform viewer.
An open-source vcd-capable waveform viewer is `GTKWave <http://gtkwave.sourceforge.net/>`__.
For a VCS simulation, this will generate a vpd file (this is a proprietary waveform representation format used by Synopsys) that can be loaded to vpd-supported waveform viewers.
If you have Synopsys licenses, we recommend using the DVE waveform viewer.
For a VCS simulation, this will generate an fsdb file (fast signal database, a proprietary waveform representation format developed by Novas Software, later acquired by Synopsys) that can be loaded to fsdb-supported waveform viewers.
If you have Synopsys licenses, we recommend using the Verdi waveform viewer.
