  • Method, system and program product for defining and recording threshold-qualified count events of a simulation by testcases
    Patent number: 7454325
    Abstract: According to one method of simulation processing, a count event counter for a count event is created within instrumentation of a hardware description language (HDL) simulation model of a design and a threshold greater than 1 is established for the count event counter. The design is then simulated utilizing the HDL simulation model, and occurrences of the count event are accumulated in the count event counter to obtain a count event value. Thereafter, an indication of whether the count event value of the count event exceeds the threshold is recorded within a data storage subsystem.
