Abstract

An approach is disclosed herein for dynamic design switching for high performance mixed signal simulation. Disclosed herein is a new approach to simulation processes that allows for different segments of a design to be swapped out without requiring re-elaboration. This is an improvement over current techniques and decreases the amount of time need to simulate a design. In some embodiments, the technique illustrated herein is combined with an automated triggering mechanism that controls the selection of alternate representations for the same element base on those triggers. In some embodiments a new multiplexor structure is provided that is specifically tailored to solving the present issue.
