ABSTRACT:
A method (30) and apparatus (300) for characterizing the operation of an architectural system designed through a plurality of design tasks (102-112). The design tasks are associated with architectural design rules (114-124) that compare a mapping of the system to a set of rules which are indicative of an error-free system. Objects in the mapping that do not conform to the architectural rules are identified and can be displayed at multiple architectural levels through one or more editors (26-28) and modified without leaving the editors. The system is dynamically characterized by annotating an RTL component (step 153) and simulating the system over a range of simulation cycles. The annotated component (130) monitors states of the system for storing in an analysis database (24). States at selectable simulation cycles are displayed in different orders and at multiple architectural levels.
