SOFTWARE SIMULATION METHOD, PROGRAM FOR SOFTWARE SIMULATION, AND SOFTWARE SIMULATION DEVICE

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simulation method which allows data races, deadlocks, and the like to be extracted without devising a program for debugging when simulating execution of the program on a software model of an LSI. PSOLUTION: The method of software simulation on a computer includes: executing a program comprising a plurality of threads by a hardware model implemented as software on a software simulator; monitoring accesses of the plurality of threads to resources in the hardware model by a monitor function of the simulator to collect information relating to the accesses; extracting superposition of accesses of the plurality of threads to resource areas, from collected information by the monitor function; and generating a message warning the superposition of accesses by the monitor function.
