Patent ID: 8073672

Claim:
In a computing environment, an automated method comprising: determining a signal change parameter for each of one or more signals of a design to be verified resulting in one or more determined signal change parameters, said one or more signals of said design to be verified intended for transmission between first circuitry of the design to be verified and second circuitry of the design to be verified, wherein the first circuitry of the design to be verified is to be implemented in a reconfigurable logic array of an emulator and the second circuitry of the design to be verified is to be implemented in a simulator; assigning the one or more signals into one or more channels of communication between the emulator and the simulator, the assigning being performed based at least in part on common values of the one or more determined signal change parameters; and conditioned upon said assigning the one or more signals into the one or more channels of communication, compiling the first circuitry of the design to be verified into the emulator.
