摘要： According to a method of data processing, a data set including at least one entry specifying a signal group by a predetermined signal group name is received by a data processing system. In response to receipt of the data set, the entry in the data set is processed to identify the signal group name. Signal group information associated with an event trace file containing simulation results is accessed to determine signal names of multiple signals that are members of the signal group. Simulation results from the event trace file that are associated with instances of said multiple signals are then included within a presentation of simulation results.

摘要： According to a method of simulation processing, a simulation model is received that includes a plurality of design entity instances modeling a digital system and one or more instrumentation entity instances, separate from the plurality of design entity instances, that generate instances of instrumentation events for testing purposes during simulation. In response to receiving an exclusion list identifying at least one instance of one or more instrumentation events to be removed from the simulation model, at least one instance of the one or more instrumentation events and associated logic elements are removed from the one or more instrumentation entity instances of the simulation model prior to simulation, such that a more compact simulation model is obtained.

摘要： According to a method of simulation processing, an instrumented simulation executable model of a design is built by compiling one or more hardware description language (HDL) files specifying one or more design entities within the design and one or more instrumentation entities and instantiating instances of the one or more instrumentation entities within instances of the one or more design entities. Operation of the design is then simulated utilizing the instrumented simulation executable model. Simulating operation includes each of multiple instantiations of the one or more instrumentation entities generating a respective external phase signal representing an occurrence of a particular phase of operation and instrumentation combining logic generating from external phase signals of the multiple instantiations of the one or more instrumentation entities an aggregate phase signal representing an occurrence of the particular phase.

摘要： In a method of data processing, a database defines a Dial entity and at least one instance of the Dial entity. Each instance of the Dial entity has an input having a plurality of different possible input values and one or more outputs, and each of the plurality of different possible input values has a different associated output value set for the one or more outputs. Each instance of the Dial entity determines a value of at least one of a plurality of configuration latches in a digital system separate from the database. The database also associates with the Dial entity at least one set of biasing weights that, when applied, determines a probability of each instance of the Dial entity having particular ones of the plurality of different possible input values. In response to a call to set the plurality of configuration latches, the database is accessed to apply the at least one set of biasing weights to select one of the plurality of different possible input values for the at least one instance of the Dial entity. The plurality of configuration latches in the digital system are set based upon the output value set for the one or more outputs of the at least one instance of the Dial entity.

摘要： In a hardware definition language (HDL) file among one or more files, one or more design entities containing a functional portion of a digital system are specified. The one or more design entities logically contain a plurality of latches having a respective plurality of different possible latch values that each corresponds to a different configuration of the functional portion of the digital system. With one or more statements in the one or more files, a multi-level Dial tree is defined that includes a selective control Dial (SCDial) entity at an upper level that is associated with at least one design entity. The SCDial entity has a Dial input, a plurality of Dial outputs coupled to inputs of the plurality of lower level Dials, and a mapping table indicating a mapping between each of a plurality of possible input values of the Dial input and a respective one of a plurality of sets of output values for the plurality of Dial outputs. At least one set of output values in the mapping table specifies output values for fewer than all of the plurality of Dial outputs. Each specified output value reflects a setting of at least one lower level Dial, and settings of the lower level Dials reflect which of the plurality of different possible configuration values is loaded in the plurality of configuration latches.

摘要： In a method of compiling a simulation model of a digital design, a compiler receives an indication of a desired set of instrumentation entities to be included within a simulation model of a digital design described by a plurality of hierarchically arranged design entities. The instrumentation entities monitor logical operation of one or more of the plurality of design entities during simulation for occurrence of events of interest. In response to the indication, the compiler determines by reference to a bill-of-materials of a previously compiled file whether or not the previously compiled file was compiled with instrumentation entities compatible with the desired set of instrumentation entities. In response to determining that the previously compiled file was compiled with compatible instrumentation entities, the compiler compiles the simulation model of the digital design utilizing the previously compiled file in accordance with the indication.

摘要： A method, data processing system, and program product for building an instrumented simulation model of a digital design are disclosed. According to the method, a model build tool locates, within design data collectively defining a simulation model of the digital design, a definition of a configuration construct specifying a relationship between values of one or more configuration latches within the digital design and settings of the configuration construct. In response to locating the definition of the configuration construct, the model build tool automatically creates an instrumentation entity within the design data. The instrumentation entity has one or more inputs logically coupled to the one or more configuration latches and one or more outputs for providing signals indicating characteristics of the configuration construct during simulation.

摘要： In at least one hardware definition language (HDL) file, at least one design entity containing a functional portion of a digital system is specified. The design entity logically contains a latch having a respective plurality of different possible latch values. With one or more statements in one or more files, a configuration entity is associated with the latch. The configuration entity has a plurality of different settings and each setting reflects which of the plurality of different possible values is loaded in the associated latch. A controlling value set for at least one instance of the configuration entity is also defined in one or more files. The controlling value set indicates at least one controlling value for which presentation of a current setting of the configuration entity instance is restricted. Thereafter, in response to a request to present at least a partial state of the digital system, a current setting of the configuration entity instance is excluded from presentation by reference to a configuration database indicating the controlling value set.

摘要： The signal state that a signal of interest within a system under test has during each of a plurality of cycles of operation of the system under test is stored in a trace file. In association with the signal state, information regarding a requested access to the signal state by a control program during a particular cycle among the plurality of cycles is also stored. From the trace files a presentation is generated that presents, for at least a signal of interest within the system under test, a plurality of signal state indications, each indicating a respective state that the signal had during a one of a plurality of cycles of operation of the system under test. The presentation also indicates, in a graphically distinctive manner, at least one cycle of operation during which a control program requested access to a state of the signal, so that the influence of the control program on the state of the system under test is visually apparent.
