Abstract
According to one method of simulation processing, instrumentation code, such as an runtime executive (rtx), receives one or more statements describing an count event and identifying the count event as an outlying count event. While simulating a design utilizing the HDL simulation model, occurrences of the outlying count event are counted to obtain a count event value. Simulation result data obtained from simulating the design is then received and processed. In the processing, the count event value is recorded within a data storage subsystem responsive to a determination of whether or not the count event value of the outlying count event exceeds a previously recorded count event value.
