Method of storing event list when simulating circuit, by only storing values that have changed

摘要

The method involves determining a set of signal values to be detected at a certain point in time, and defining a subset of signal values that are not to be stored, and which are derived from a network list (6), the circuit, or from a model of the circuit which is stored in a hardware description language. The signal values that are not contained in the subset are then stored. Independent claims are also included for: (a) a module for storing an event list (b) an event list for storing simulation results
