METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING STORAGE REQUIREMENTS OF SIMULATION DATA VIA KEYWORD RESTRICTIONS
First Claim
1. A system for managing data results of simulation processing of a hardware description language (HDL) model based upon keywords, said system comprising:
- means for receiving a restriction list associated with the HDL model, wherein the HDL model has a maximum number of possible keyword/value pairs sets for which result data can be obtained and said restriction list includes a plurality of restrictions specifying keyword/value pair sets for which said result data can be queried, wherein said restriction list specifies a fewer number than said maximum number of keyword/value pair sets for which said result data can be queried based upon at least one keyword;
means for processing said restriction list to eliminate at least one redundant restriction among said plurality of restrictions;
means for receiving result data obtained by simulation of the HDL model; and
means for storing said result data within a data storage subsystem by reference to said restriction list such that particular result data attributable to each of said plurality of keyword/value sets is separately accessible.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of managing data results of simulation processing of a hardware description language (HDL) model based upon keywords. In accordance with the method, a restriction list associated with the HDL model is received. The HDL model has a maximum number of possible keyword/value pairs sets for which result data can be obtained, and the restriction list specifies a fewer number of keyword/value pair sets for which the result data can be queried based upon at least one keyword. In response to receipt of result data obtained by simulation of the HDL model, the result data are stored within a data storage subsystem by reference to the restriction list, such that particular result data attributable to each of the plurality of keyword/value sets is separately accessible.

6. A program product, comprising:
-
a computer readable storage medium; and a data management program code encoded within said computer readable storage medium, wherein said data management program code causes a data processing system to perform a method including the following steps; receiving a restriction list associated with the HDL model, wherein the HDL model has a maximum number of possible keyword/value pairs sets for which result data can be obtained and said restriction list includes a plurality of restrictions specifying keyword/value pair sets for which said result data can be queried, wherein said restriction list that specifies a fewer number than said maximum number of keyword/value pair sets for which said result data can be queried based upon at least one keyword; processing said restriction list to eliminate at least one redundant restriction among said plurality of restrictions; receiving result data obtained by simulation of the HDL model; and storing said result data within a data storage subsystem by reference to said restriction list such that particular result data attributable to each of said plurality of keyword/value sets is separately accessible. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
