How to run ModelSim overnight with display off...

[Tianxiang Weng]

Hi,
I want to run ModelSim overnight when I am sleeping.

How to run an application overnight with the display off in the laptop with Windows 10?

Is there a shortcut keystroke to turn the screen off while running an application background?

Thank you.

Weng

I\'ve used Nirsofts command line facility with a shortcut key. This

Hi Mike,
It is interesting that I found another method on youtube: How to Turn off Screen of a Laptop but Keep PC Running In Windows 10/8/7; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBp8B7Vicvs

This method is permanently to Turn off Screen of a Laptop but Keep PC Running In Windows 10 when laptop\' lid is closed. If you are to cancel the mode, reset the Window settings.

I don\'t know which method is better.

It is generally not a good idea to shut a laptop that\'s working hard. The
reason is many laptops direct hot exhaust air up the front of the screen,
and shutting the screen blocks the vent.

Obviously you should check the situation for your specific laptop, but I\'d
recommend putting the laptop on a hard surface and leaving it open, which
will allow maximum airflow. Alternatively you can stand it on its end like
a book (assuming there are no vents on the sides that this would block).

As well as not overheating, better cooling may make your simulation run
faster because it can clock the CPU higher without overheating.
