Abstract
A design verification system for simulating designs and evaluating the simulation results against a set of expected events. A set of expected events are generated and loaded into an expect buffer. As the simulation proceeds, each modelled device collects data on each event into an event record. Each event record is compared against the set of expected events. If the set of expected events contains an entry that matches the event record, the matching entry is removed from the expect buffer. If a matching entry is not found then the event record is flagged as an error. The system is flexible to design changes and efficient as the exact ordering of events is not critical to the simulation outcome.
