Abstract

A system and method for implementation of look-ahead design methodology. Efficient debugging of a design is accomplished by evaluating the high level register transfer level (RTL) representation of a device being designed by quickly simulating the downstream implementation of that device to expose potential implementation problems that would otherwise be found much later in the design or manufacturing cycle.
