Abstract: A system and method for detecting and isolating a code portion of a program code thread in a simulator environment wherein the code portion is operable to modify a simulated register object.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention may comprise a computer-implemented system for managing access to a controlled space in a simulator environment, comprising: means for requiring initialization of a simulated hardware control object by a user code application operable to run on a simulated target platform in the simulator environment, wherein the simulated hardware control object is associated with at least a partition of the controlled space that is simulated by an architectural simulator in the simulator environment; and means for verifying if the simulated hardware control object associated with the partition has been initialized by the user code application when the user code application issues a transaction that attempts to access the partition.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting accesses to non-existing hardware entities using a simulator environment. When an application running on a simulated target platform issues a transaction that involves accessing a hardware address, wherein the address is within a range of addresses allocated to a simulated hardware block, a set of instructions provided with the simulator are operable to determine if there exists a backing that corresponds to the transaction's address. If there is no backing (i.e., a control status register) associated with the address, an appropriate notification or warning is provided as a response.
