A method for simulation of circuit units, such as microprocessors and graphics cards, being verified, involves using test benches/models or circuit simulation models

摘要

A method for simulating a circuit unit (101) by an arrangement with self-registering test bench elements (102a..102n) connecting the circuit unit to the simulation arrangement. Method involves connecting the circuit unit being verified via at least one self-registering test bench element, and supplying a control data flow (111) from the test bench controller (103) to the circuit unit being verified, via a test bench element, and then delivering a test bench element data flow from the test bench element to an associated self-registering element (105,106) of the simulation arrangement and then supplying a self-registering data flow to the test bench controller (103) of the simulation arrangement, and driving the test bench element by the test-bench controller (103) with the control data flow (111). An Independent claim is given for a device for self-registering of test bench elements.
