Abstract

See full text

A system and method increases discrete function simulator performance by creating a data structure that completely and accurately models a system of discrete function elements. A discrete function simulator simulates the system using the data structure. Sequential circuits are converted into blocks of combinational elements having latch variables stored to and read from memory. The simulator performance is dependent upon the number of system inputs and outputs and not on the number of discrete function elements in the circuit being simulated.
