Count data access in a distributed simulation environment

摘要

A method and system for providing centralized access to instrumentation count event information generated by simulation testing of a hardware simulation model, in which simulation testing is performed within a batch simulation farm by multiple simulation clients communicating with an instrumentation server. An entitylist that includes an identifier for each design entity within said hardware simulation model that has at least one instantiated instrumentation count event is generated within a simulation client. The entitylist is delivered from the simulation client to the instrumentation server. Within the instrumentation server, the entitylist is associated with an identifier for the hardware simulation model such that instrumentation count event information is accessible from said instrumentation server by individual design entity information.
