Simulation Method Achieving Fast Signal Visibility

摘要

PURPOSE: A simulation method is provided to reduce whole simulation time by successively processing additional simulations by using one simulator. CONSTITUTION: A verification software(32) executes first simulation process by adding an additional circuit or an additional code through an automation method. The verification software automatically collects minimum information from the first simulation process. The minimum information is necessary information for constructing simulation processes for one or more design blocks. The verification software rapidly executes the simulation processes by using the collected information.
