The first Verilog simulator available on the Windows OS. The simulator had a cycle-based counterpart called 'CycleDrive'. FrontLine was sold to Avant! in 1998, which was later acquired by Synopsys in 2002. Synopsys discontinued Purespeed in favor of its well-established VCS simulator. Quartus II Simulator (Qsim) Altera: VHDL-1993, V2001, SV2005
The world of electronic design automation (EDA) software for integrated circuit (IC) design is dominated by the three vendors Synopsys, Cadence Design Systems and Siemens EDA (Formerly Mentor Graphics, acquired in 2017 by Siemens) which have a revenue respectively of 4,2 billion US$, 3 billion US$ and 1,3 billion US$.
Synopsys, Inc. is an American electronic design automation (EDA) company headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, that focuses on silicon design and verification, silicon intellectual property and software security and quality. Synopsys supplies tools and services to the semiconductor design and manufacturing industry.
Specman is a feature of Cadence's new Xcelium simulator, where tighter product integration offers both faster runtime performance and debugs capabilities not available with other HDL simulators. In principle, Specman can co-simulate with any HDL simulator supporting standard PLI or VHPI interface, such as Synopsys's VCS, or Mentor's Questa.

In 2000, EVE was founded in France. [1]In 2002, EVE launched its flagship ZeBu's first emulation product and SystemC support. [2]In May 2006, EVE introduced a communication link to SystemVerilog simulation, SystemVerilog assertion support, and a register transfer level compiler for mapping an ASIC or System-on-a-chip (SOC) design into ZeBu's arrays of FPGAs.
Having worked on the GUI used by Synopsys, I can understand how they were able to integrate SystemVerilog quite quickly. The VCS GUI was developed independently of the simulator, (by Simulation Technologies, later Summit Design )and was designed to be able to work with different simulators and different HD Languages (concurrently, no less).
ModelSim is a multi-language environment by Siemens [1] (previously developed by Mentor Graphics, [2]) for simulation of hardware description languages such as VHDL, Verilog and SystemC, and includes a built-in C debugger. [3] [2] ModelSim can be used independently, or in conjunction with Intel Quartus Prime, PSIM, [4] Xilinx ISE or Xilinx ...
