  • Scheduling processes in simulation of a circuit design based on simulation costs and runtime states of HDL processes
    Patent number: 8768678
    Abstract: One or more embodiments provide a load balancing solution for improving the runtime performance of parallel HDL simulators. During compilation each process is analyzed to determine a simulation cost based on complexity of the HDL processes. During simulation, processes to be executed in the same simulation cycle are scheduled using the simulation costs computed at compile-time in order to reduce the delay incurred during simulation.
