Abstract:
A computer implemented method for simulating a storage component, comprising:determining whether one or more timing violations has occurred for the storage component; in response to a determination that one or more timing violations has occurred for the storage component, providing an uncertainty indicator at an output of the storage component; and after a selected number of timing units has occurred, replacing the uncertainty indicator next issued at the output by a non-random output value determined by a storage component data input value for a selected time immediately preceding issuance of the non-random output value, wherein the non-random value at the output is determined by a procedure comprising the following: where the data input value is a logical 0, the next non-random output value is a logical 0, and where the data input value is a logical 1, the next non-random output value is a logical 1.
