Run-time switching for simulation with dynamic run-time accuracy adjustment

Abstract

Systems and methods for run-time switching for simulation with dynamic run-time accuracy adjustment. In one embodiment, a computer implemented method performs a simulation of a computer instruction executing on a simulated hardware design by a first simulation model, wherein the first simulation model provides first timing information of the simulation. The first timing information is stored to a computer usable media. A pending subsequent simulation of the instruction is detected. Responsive to the presence of the first timing information in the computer usable media, the computer instruction is simulated by a second simulation model, wherein the second simulation model provides less accurate second timing information of the simulation than the first simulation model. The simulation run time information is updated for the subsequent simulation with the first timing information.
