Simulation apparatus, simulation method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A simulation method executed in a simulation apparatus, comprising:

• acquiring an executable file to be verified;
• detecting a delay loop instruction sequence included in the executable file to be verified, inserting a specific jump instruction that moves an order of a next instruction to be executed to an instruction following the delay loop instruction sequence before the delay loop instruction sequence to generate an edited executable file, and calculating a processing time required for the delay loop instruction sequence;
• and
• advancing an elapsed time in a simulation by the processing time required for the delay loop instruction sequence when processing the specific jump instruction during an execution of a process based on the edited executable file.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a simulation apparatus to execute a simulation method, the simulation method includes:

• acquiring an executable file to be verified;
• detecting a delay loop instruction sequence included in the executable file to be verified, inserting a specific jump instruction that moves an order of a next instruction to be executed to the an instruction following the delay loop instruction sequence before the delay loop instruction sequence to generate an edited executable file, and calculating a processing time required for the delay loop instruction sequence;
• and
• advancing an elapsed time in a simulation by the processing time required for the delay loop instruction sequence when processing the specific jump instruction during an execution of a process based on the edited executable file.
