Abstract
At a simulation client, a design is simulated utilizing a hardware description language (HDL) simulation model by stimulating the HDL simulation model with a testcase. The HDL simulation model includes instrumentation not forming a portion of the design that includes a plurality of count event counters that count occurrences of count events in the design during stimulation by the testcase. At multiple intervals during stimulation of the HDL simulation model by the testcase, the simulation client records count values of the plurality of count event counters. The simulation client determines, for each of the multiple intervals, a temporal statistic regarding the count values of the plurality of count event counters and outputs a report containing temporal statistics for the multiple intervals.
