Abstract
In compiled code simulation, a circuit to be simulated is converted or compiled into an executable so that running the executable produces the same output response as the circuit itself. In a binary decision diagram (BDD)-based compiled code simulator, the simulation executable for the circuit is derived from a BDD-based characteristic function representation of the circuit rather than by the heretofore used translation of Boolean operations in the original circuit into machine instructions.
