摘要： A method, an apparatus and computer instructions are provided for specifying multiple voltage domains of a signal and macros in a processor chip and validating physical implementation and interconnections of the signal and macros. A set of attributes is provided for designs to define multiple voltage domains of a signal and macros in a processor chip. A first validation mechanism is then provided to validate that no electrical or logical errors created by logical connections between macros as defined by the set of attributes. A translation mechanism is provided to translate logical voltage description to a physical netlist for designers to connect powers to macros and signals. A second validation mechanism is provided to validate physical implementation adhere to designers' intent according to the set of attributes defined in the logical design.

摘要： Disclosed is a method for constructing a Hybrid Cycle Simulation model comprising Compiled Data Units (CDUs) for use in design verification. The simulation model may contain a plurality of 1-cycle CDUs, optimized for simulation throughput, and 2-cycle CDUs, optimized for simulation accuracy, or a mixture thereof. Utilizing a netlist tool extracting hierarchical design source components for use, the contruction checks that all inputs and outputs of any hierarchical design source components bind, and employs Object Traversal Directives for incorporating the selected CDUs into the simulation model. A data management method is used for tracking the validity of the components in the model. Additionally, a software entity (FACDDR) permits high bandwidth simulation of design components normally requiring cycle accurate simulation. FACDDR provides linkages for standard logic elements for abstracting one or more design interface components out of a cycle simulation environment and design interface emulation of an interface which interacts with a cycle simulation model through an API to extract present value of driving side signals of an interface and to set the cycle simulation model on the receiving side.
