Abstract: Circuit design simulation and clock event reduction may include detecting, using computer hardware, a plurality of models of a circuit design driven by a clock source by parsing the circuit design. The circuit design is a mixed language circuit design including a hardware description language (HDL) model and a high-level programming language (HLPL) model. Using the computer hardware, a clock requirement for the HLPL model for a simulation of the circuit design may be determined. The clock requirement of the HLPL model differs from a clock requirement of the HDL model. Using the computer hardware, an interface of the HLPL model may be modified based on the clock requirement of the HLPL model.
