<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To speed up entire and comprehensive simulation (simulation operation) by improving the simulation executing speed in obtaining a profile. <P>SOLUTION: This apparatus has a configuration from a command memory module 101 to a profile module 104. In this apparatus, hardware is modeled, and the normal mode for executing all the simulation and the turbo mode for executing the simulation faster than that in the normal mode by omitting a part of the simulation are provided. Specifically, the simulation is performed in the turbo mode until the start address information (address value) of the profile which calculates a time required for a memory access in the command simulation of the command memory module 101. After the profile start address information, the mode is switched from the turbo mode to the normal mode to perform the simulation. Furthermore, after obtaining the profile by executing the simulation in the normal mode, the mode is switched to the turbo mode to perform the simulation from the profile end address information. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO</p> |
