  Abstract

The visibility for signals in designs is required for their analysis and debug during the verification process. It could be achieved through the signal dumping for designs during the execution of HDL simulation. However, such signal dumping, in general, degrades the speed of simulation significantly, or can result in the number of simulation runs. In this paper, we have proposed an efficient and fast simulation method for dumping based on the design checkpoint, and shown its effectiveness by applying it to industrial SOC designs.
