Abstract
The present invention generally relates to hardware development and design, and in particular it relates to a method for simulating hardware. A meta model () is compiled for integrating a plurality of n different instantiations (A, . . .N) of the same hardware model, and facilities and signals of different instantiations are resolved by instantiation-specific name space specifications in a code switch (). Thus, computing time is saved because by simulating the meta model, the processor resources, for instance, storage spaces, are utilized more efficiently.
