1. irun -processor 4
2. irun -processor 4 -profthread
(Note: Simulations were fired on a 8-core machine)
But in both the cases I can see only one CPU being utilized.
Please help.

Atul,
As far as I'm aware, the -processor argument is for when you're using APS as the
analog solver in a mixed-signal simulation, and even then it just controls the
"processor affinity" (see "man taskset") to get the most out of a multi-threaded
analog simulation.
I'm not really an expert on the digital parts of Incisive, but as far as I know,
it is not multi-threaded in itself (although you could have multiple threads in
a system C block, for example).
Why did you think that "-processor 4" would tell it to use 4 CPUs? Is this
documented somewhere? (if it's in Cadence documentation, I'd like to know!)
Thanks,
Andrew.
