Abstract

According to a method of simulation processing, a simulation model is received that includes a plurality of design entity instances modeling a digital system and one or more instrumentation entity instances, separate from the plurality of design entity instances, that generate instances of instrumentation events for testing purposes during simulation. In response to receiving an exclusion list identifying at least one instance of one or more instrumentation events to be removed from the simulation model, at least one instance of the one or more instrumentation events and associated logic elements are removed from the one or more instrumentation entity instances of the simulation model prior to simulation, such that a more compact simulation model is obtained.
