Problem Description

Because of the 32-bit integers used for determining the current processor cycle, RSIM does not run for more than 2 billion cycles.

Suggested work-around

Until we have a more robust fix for this, it is recommended that applications use techniques like SpecialInitInput to speed up the initialization phases whenever possible.
