A system and method for selective transfer of application data between storage devices in a computer system. Application data and non-application data are stored in a mass memory device. The application data and non-application data are received in a dump memory. Data in the dump memory is examined to identify the application data. A secondary address for the application data is derived. Application data from the dump memory indicated by the secondary address is received by a memory array. The application data indicated by the secondary address is parsed. Parsed application data is transferred from the memory array to dump memory. The parsed application data and the non-application data are transferred from the dump memory to the mass memory device. Finally, unexamined data is dumped from the mass memory device to the dump memory. The application data in one example represents a circuit to be simulated and the circuit could be described in a hardware description language such as VERILOG. |
