Abstract

A method for dynamically customizing object code for simulation includes obtaining a statically generated object (SGO) and a first test vector, segmenting the SGO with a marker node to generate a segmented SGO comprising a plurality of SGO segments, generating a first simulation profile using the segmented SGO and the first test vector, locating a first unexercised segment of the plurality of SGO segments using the first simulation profile, and generating a first reduced SGO by removing the first unexercised segment from the segmented SGO.
