ABSTRACT:
Instructions to be executed on a system are simulated. Representative simulation phases of the instructions, which most affect simulation results of the instructions to be executed on the system, are dynamically determined. For each representative simulation phase of the instructions, a model is selected from a number of models that provides specified accuracy with a minimal amount of simulation time, and the representative simulation phase is simulated using the model selected. The simulation results for the instructions to be executed on the system are then output.
