Abstract

A method and system for controlling granularity of transaction recording and visualizing system performance and behavior in a discrete functional verification software simulation environment is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a simulation of a model is run in a discrete event simulation system for a period of time. During the simulation, statistical values of attribute for a plurality of transactions occurring during the period of time are monitored. Based on a granularity setting, a group of consecutive transactions is grouped into a super transaction, and the statistical values representing the super transaction are recorded to represent the group of transactions. The super transactions are visualized in a visualization tool for analyzing the performance of the model.
