Abstract
A method for performing diagnostics on a CPU logic simulator executes certain portions of the diagnostics on a real-machine, and other portions in the software simulator. Those portions that must be executed in the simulator are executed on the simulator, while those portions that need not be executed on the simulator are preferably executed on the real-machine. The method coordinates the execution of the diagnostic functions between the real- machine and the simulator to achieve improved speed of diagnostic execution.
