Abstract
Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for controlling multiple simulations. One embodiment is a method that includes executing plural architectural simulators being interconnected to form a platform for hardware simulation; placing at least one of the plural architectural simulators into a pause state; and automatically minimizing windows associated with the at least one of the plural architectural simulators.
Claims20
1) A method of software execution, comprising:
- executing a hardware simulation process that simultaneously executes plural different simulation processes with each simulation process having plural xterm windows;
- receiving a selection of one of the simulation processes;
- and
- automatically reducing or hiding xterm windows not associated with the one of the simulation processes.
8) A method of software execution, comprising:
- executing plural architectural simulators being interconnected to form a platform for hardware simulation;
- placing each of the plural architectural simulators into a run state;
- and
- placing one of the plural architectural simulators into a pause state and another architectural simulator into a command state.
15) A computer readable medium having instructions for causing a computer to execute a method, comprising:
- executing plural architectural simulators being interconnected to form a platform for hardware simulation;
- placing at least one of the plural architectural simulators into a pause state;
- and
- automatically minimizing windows associated with the at least one of the plural architectural simulators.
