  • Selecting data to verify in hardware device model simulation test generation
    Patent number: 7778812
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for generating write and read commands used to test hardware device models. The method is able to generate multiple write commands to a location without having to generate intervening read commands to validate the data. In addition, the method enables read commands to be generated in a different sequence from the sequence of generated write commands, having different sizes than the sizes of the write commands, and that maximize the amount of data read (verified) and minimize the amount of unnecessary reads (re-verification).
