A method for simulation of mixed-language circuit designs is disclosed. In
one embodiment, an object-oriented language module is natively
instantiated within a hardware description language based design. In
another embodiment, a hardware description language module is natively
instantiated within an object-oriented language based design. A system
for simulation of mixed-language circuit designs is also disclosed. In
one embodiment, a simulator is configured to natively manipulate an
object-oriented language module within a hardware description language
based design. In another embodiment, a simulator is configured to
natively manipulate a hardware description language module within an
object-oriented language based design.
