Method, system, and a GUI client for generating a simulation timeline encoded packets view

A system for generating a simulation timeline encoded packets view, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor executable instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor to:
• receive at least one type string from each of a plurality of simulation testbench components, wherein the type string corresponds to a packet type from a plurality of packet types;
• assign a unique type code for each of the at least one type string received from each of the plurality of simulation testbench components based on the type string received from each of the plurality of simulation testbench components,
• wherein the type string comprises interface driver, interface monitor, expected stream output packet, actual stream output packet, and expected dropped packet, and
• wherein the unique type code corresponds to at least one of:
• one of the plurality of simulation testbench components;
• and
• one of the plurality of packet types;
• iteratively receive from at least one of the plurality of simulation testbench components, a plurality of data strings each with the corresponding assigned unique type code, wherein each of the plurality of data strings correspond to a packet and a packet type from the plurality of packet types;
• receive a critical message from one or more of the plurality of simulation testbench components,
• wherein the critical message excludes the associated unique type code, and wherein the critical message comprises at least one of a reset event message, an error event message, a user-defined event message, or an end of simulation event message;
• store each of the plurality of data strings marked with an associated receipt timestamp;
• contemporaneously generate at each iteration a simulation timeline encoded packets view for each of the plurality of simulation testbench components based on the plurality of data strings, the marked receipt timestamps, and the assigned unique type codes;
• and
• contemporaneously render at each iteration the simulation timeline encoded packets view via a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

A graphical user interface (GUI) client for rendering a simulation timeline encoded packets view, the GUI client configured to:

• receive a request from a user to render the simulation timeline encoded packets view for a simulation, wherein the simulation timeline encoded packet view comprises each of a plurality of simulation testbench components, a plurality of data strings received from each of the plurality of simulation testbench components, a marked receipt timestamp, and an assigned unique type code;
• process the received request for generating the simulation timeline encoded packets view for the simulation;
• and
• contemporaneously render at each iteration to the user, the generated simulation timeline encoded packets view for the simulation.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for generating a simulation timeline encoded packets view, the stored instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprises:

• receiving at least one type string from each of a plurality of simulation testbench components, wherein the type string corresponds to a packet type from a plurality of packet types;
• assigning a unique type code for each of the at least one type string received from each of the plurality of simulation testbench components based on the type string received from each of the plurality of simulation testbench components,
• wherein the type string comprises interface driver, interface monitor, expected stream output packet, actual stream output packet, and expected dropped packet, and
• wherein the unique type code corresponds to at least one of:
• one of the plurality of simulation testbench components;
• and
• one of the plurality of packet types;
• iteratively receiving from at least one of the plurality of simulation testbench components, a plurality of data strings each with the corresponding assigned unique type code, wherein each of the plurality of data strings correspond to a packet and a packet type from the plurality of packet types;
• receiving a critical message from one or more of the plurality of simulation testbench components,
• wherein the critical message excludes the associated unique type code, and wherein the critical message comprises at least one of a reset event message, an error event message, a user-defined event message, or an end of simulation event message;
• storing each of the plurality of data strings marked with an associated receipt timestamp;
• contemporaneously generating at each iteration, a simulation timeline encoded packets view for each of the plurality of simulation testbench components based on the plurality of data strings, the marked receipt timestamps, and the assigned unique type codes;
• and
• contemporaneously rendering at each iteration, the simulation timeline encoded packets view via a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
