ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for simulation of a hardware design using a cycle-based event-driven simulation. The present invention also provides for a measuring technique for estimating the potential performance gain obtained by using traditional simulation techniques as opposed to the cycle-based event-driven simulation technique of the present invention. The result of the measuring technique is provided for a user as a tool in determining which technique they would like to use for the simulation of their hardware design.
