Abstract

The disclosure contains descriptions of various methods and systems for accelerating the execution of a virtual prototype simulation. Acceleration may be achieved, for example, by providing two or more redundant virtual communication paths for access made by virtual models of a virtual prototype of a hardware design to provide for both accelerated access transactions and time-accurate access transactions. A model having such redundant virtual communication paths is referred to herein as a 'multimode model.'
