  • Hardware verification batch computing farm simulator
    Patent number: 7860700
    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for calculating the expected behavior of a group of hardware verification test cases. Batch simulation parameters are configured. A test case is submitted for evaluation. Historical performance data for test cases associated with the submitted test case is gathered. A set of performance statistics for the submitted test case is generated based on the historical performance data and the configured batch simulation parameters. A set of values for the submitted test is generated based on the generated performance statistics for the submitted test case and the historical performance data. The generated set of values and the generated set of performance statistics for the submitted test case are displayed to a user.

  • Method and System for Automatic Selection of Test Cases
    Publication number: 20090006066
    Abstract: A system for selecting a test case. A test case with a high score is selected. A simulation job is run on a device under test on a plurality of processors using the selected test case. Simulation performance and coverage data is collected for the selected test case and the collected simulation performance and coverage data is stored in a database.
