Abstract

An apparatus comprising a system configuration generator, a system builder and a simulation verification environment. The system configuration generator may be configured to generate a random system configuration file of a structurally variable and complex system. The system builder may be configured to build a system level netlist in response to the random system configuration file. The simulation verification environment may be configured to verify the structurally variable and complex system in response to the system level netlist. The simulation verification environment may be configured to provide automatic random verification of the system in response to the random system configuration file.

Independent Claims | See all claims (18)

  1. 1. An apparatus comprising: a system configuration generator configured to generate a random system configuration file of a structurally variable and complex system; a system builder configured to build a system level netlist in response to said random system configuration file; and a simulation verification environment configured to verify said structurally variable and complex system in response to said system level netlist, wherein said simulation verification environment is configured to provide automatic random verification of said structurally variable and complex system in response to said random system configuration file.
  2. 10. An apparatus comprising: means for generating a system configuration file of a structurally variable and complex system; means for building a system level netlist in response to said random system configuration file; means for verifying said structurally variable and complex system in response to said system level netlist; and means for providing automatic random verification of said structurally variable and complex system in response to said system configuration file.
  3. 11. A method for automated random verification of structurally variable and complex systems, comprising the steps of: (A) generating a random system configuration file of said system; (B) generating one or more parameters of said system in response to said random system configuration file; (C) generating a system level netlist of said system in response to said random system configuration file; (D) verifying one or more target modules with said system in response to said system level netlist; and (E) automatically and randomly adjusting step (D) in response to said random system configuration file.
