Abstract: Generating instructions, in particular for mailbox verification in a simulation environment. A sequence of instructions is received, as well as selection data representative of a plurality of commands including a special command. Repeatedly selecting one of the plurality of commands and outputting an instruction based on the selected command. The outputting of an instruction includes outputting a next instruction in the sequence of instructions if the selected command is the special command, and outputting an instruction associated with the command if the selected command is not the special command.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes a number of processor cores, a shared processor cache, a bus unit and a bus controller. The shared processor cache is connected to each of the processor cores and to a main memory. The bus unit is connected to the shared processor cache by a bus controller for transferring data to/from an I/O device. In order to achieve further improvements to the data transfer rate between the processor cache and I/O devices, the bus controller is configured, in response to receiving a descriptor from a processor core, to perform a direct memory access to the shared processor cache for transferring data according to the descriptor from the shared processor cache to the I/O device via the bus unit.

Abstract: It is determined, if a simulated hardware signal of a design for an electronic circuit has an influence on a checker for simulation errors. To achieve this, a checker control flow database is generated for a static code description containing checkers and concerned simulated signals. Further, a database based on the output of instrumented verification code is generated, thus gaining dynamic information about the verification code. Herein, the hardware signal values will be associated with colored values or, alternatively, attributed values. For the checkers in the checker control flow database, a list of attributes is generated and stored. Based on the above operations, a hardware signal database is generated, wherein hardware signals are mapped to a list of checkers, based on determining, for each checker in the checker database, the associated hardware signals from its list of attributed values.
