Abstract
An analysis mechanism is intended for use in a system performance simulator which includes a core simulator and which is intended for simulating the performance of a physical, real-world system, and which operates with a hardware description language. The hardware description language includes representations of physical, real-world devices in the form of a template set, wherein each template in the set includes an extraction mechanism for extracting indicators of system quality from the core simulator for each template, as the simulation progresses, or after simulation is complete. Additionally, a display interface is provided for displaying the system performance indicators of design quality to a designer, either during or after the simulation.
