  • Patent number: 7502966
    Abstract: A current parameter file is periodically selected at random from an active pool, and testcases are generated and executed from the current parameter file against a device, where the execution of the testcases against the device hits events generated by the device over periods. A determination is made whether a number of the events hit by all testcases from the current parameter file in a current period meets a goal for the current parameter file. If the determination is false, the current parameter file is added to a miss pool if a number events for all periods for the current parameter file does not meet a goal for all periods for the current parameter file; the current parameter file is added to a retired pool if the number of events for all periods for the current parameter file meets the goal for all periods for the current parameter file; and the current parameter file is changed to another parameter file from the active pool.

  • Publication number: 20040010401
    Abstract: A unified simulation system is disclosed including multiple core design files, a control structure, a define file, and a compiler module. Each of the core design files includes a description of a corresponding core (i.e., functional block or unit) of an integrated circuit. The control structure associates each of multiple simulation levels with one or more of the core design files. The define file defines an active one of the multiple simulation levels. The compiler module uses the define file to determine the active simulation level, uses the control structure to determine the one or more core design files associated with the active simulation level, and uses the one or more core design files associated with the active simulation level to generate a simulation model of an integrated circuit. A user of the unified simulation system creating the define file can determine the simulation level achieved during subsequent simulation of the simulation model.
