Abstract: This disclosure relates to method and system for representing functional simulation performance for a plurality of simulations in real-time using Graphical User Interface (GUI) elements. For each of the plurality of simulations in a verification environment and upon completing each of a plurality of simulation intervals, the method includes determining a simulation performance value for a simulation interval based on wall clock time lapsed during completion of the simulation interval; calculating, in real-time, an average simulation performance value based on a sum of the simulation performance value corresponding to each of completed simulation intervals from the plurality of simulation intervals; estimating an additional wall clock time required to complete remaining of the plurality of simulation intervals using the average simulation performance value; and updating a special log file with a set of simulation parameters.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to system(s) and method(s) for interactively controlling the course of a functional simulation of DUV/SUV. The system comprises a testbench and the DUV/SUV connected to the testbench. The testbench generates a set of input data/packets as a stimulus to be processed by the DUV/SUV. The set of input data/packets is generated to simulate and verify the DUV/SUV. Further, the testbench identifies a pre-defined event at runtime during the simulation. Upon identification of the event, the testbench is configured to pause the simulation and transmit a notification message to a user indicating the occurrence of the event. Further, the testbench waits for a pre-defined time interval to receive one or more user inputs. The testbench further generates new stimulus based on the one or more user inputs and resumes the paused simulation with the new stimulus, thereby controlling the course of the functional simulation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for providing an inference associated with delays in processing input data packet(s) by a Design Under Verification (DUV)/System Under Verification (SUV) characterized by maintaining timing information of the input data packet(s) is disclosed. To provide an inference, initially, an input data packet is processed by a DUV or SUV. Simultaneously, an expected data packet corresponding to the input data packet is predicted and a Unique Identifier is assigned to the expected data packet corresponding to the input data packet that entered into the DUV/SUV. After assigning the Unique Identifier, the plurality of data fields pertaining to the Unique Identifier are populated in an array of Packet Timing Entries based on a Delay Identifier (ID) and a Delay Mode. The plurality of data fields may then be used for reporting various delay statistics and operational behaviour of DUV/SUV.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for automatically diagnosing an error by performing failure analysis of functional simulation pertaining to a Design Under Verification (DUV) or System Under Verification (SUV). A prediction unit generates a set of expected output packets upon processing a set of input packets' copy. A comparison unit compares an actual output packet, from the set of actual output packets, with an expected output packet, from the set of expected output packets, corresponding to the actual output packet. When there is a mismatch, the actual output packet is compared with at least one subsequent expected output packet until the match is found. The diagnosing unit automatically diagnoses at least one of a packet drop error, an ordering error, an error in routing, by performing a systematic failure analysis and reports a diagnostic information and/or default diagnostic information associated with the error.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to system(s) and method(s) for generating a functional simulation's progress report simultaneously when the simulation is in progress. The system comprises a testbench and a DUV/SUV connected to the testbench. The testbench generates a set of input data/packets in order to simulate and verify the DUV/SUV. The system is configured to identify one or more components, from a set of components in the testbench. Furthermore, the system receives one or more current progress messages from the one or more components and identifies one or more component Lock-Up conditions based on the processing of the one or more current progress messages and one or more previous progress messages. Further, the system executes one or more actions to resolve the one or more component Lock-Up conditions. Furthermore, the system generates a simulation progress report, simultaneously at runtime, during the simulation.

In one embodiment, each expected output packet from the set of expected output packets may be attached with a Descriptive Tracking Header. The Descriptive Tracking Header corresponds to metadata associated with the expected output packet.
