APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR RECORDATION OF DEVICE HISTORY ACROSS MULTIPLE SOFTWARE EMULATIONS

摘要

Apparatus and method for maintaining hardware history profiles for a software-based emulator. In one embodiment, the disclosed software-based emulator monitors the history of the actual hardware device in a secondary device history, the history of the emulated hardware is presented within a primary device history. However, the primary device history is linked to the secondary device history, and receives the device wear history therefrom. In another aspect of the present invention, wear-leveling strategies are disclosed for handling various update sizes. Unlike existing solutions which are optimized for a single SIM that receives small data updates; various embodiments of the present invention are suitable for handling varying data sizes.

主权项

1. A method for updating a size of a virtualized memory associated with an emulation program, the method comprising:
loading the emulation program, wherein the emulation program maintains first usage information associated with the virtualized memory; processing an update for the emulation program, wherein the update includes establishing a new size for the virtualized memory associated with the emulation program; and updating the first usage information to reflect the new size of the virtualized memory.
