Design verification method, design verification device for microprocessors, and pipeline simulator generation device

摘要

In the design verification method, the design verification device, and the pipeline simulator generation device for microprocessors, a pipeline simulator (4, S4, S12) and verification programs for a microprocessor as a target in design are automatically generated (7, S9, S10) based on a pipeline specification described in a description language readable and analyzable by a computer, and the pipeline operation of the microprocessor is verified (12, S15, S16) based on the results (S13) of the simulation (11) of the RTL description and the result (6, S14) of the pipeline simulation performed based on the verification programs and the pipeline simulator.
