Compiled code dynamic worst case timing simulation tracking multiple causality

Due to the abstract nature of compiled code simulation models, performing accurate worst-case (min-max) simulation with these models presents a complex and a challenging problem. This paper details the functional evaluation, the timing evaluation and the hazard analysis techniques that have been developed to solve this problem. For improved accuracy, a multiple causality approach has been adopted. Issues that came up due to the tracking of multiple causality are highlighted and the solutions devised are described. Potential benefits of using a compiled code technology for min-max are discussed
