Claim Text:
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, the instructions when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to: receive a request for a design signal of a design under test (DUT); identify one or more partitions of the DUT to be emulated based on the request for the design signal, the one or more partitions selected to minimize a number of emulation signals traced during emulation; store information indicating signals obtainable from the one or more partitions of the DUT, describing designs of a plurality of sections of the DUT, indicating signals obtainable from the plurality of sections, and indicating signals used in simulating each of the plurality of sections; receive, from an emulator, an emulation signal of the DUT traced by the emulator based on emulation of the one or more partitions of the DUT; determine, from the plurality of sections of the DUT, a subset of sections to simulate to produce the design signal, based on the stored information; simulate the subset of sections based on the emulation signal; and produce the design signal based on the simulation of the subset of sections.
