Abstract: Provided is a distributed parallel simulation method. In the method, a plurality of local simulations is executed in parallel for a plurality of local design objects, respectively. The local design objects are included in a model at a specific abstraction level and are spatially distributed. At least one actual output is generated using at least one of the local design objects in a current local simulation of the plurality of local simulations. At least one expected output and the at least one actual output in the current local simulation are compared. Values of the at least one actual output and position information of the values from the current local simulation are transmitted to at least one remaining local simulation of the plurality of local simulations in response to a determination from the comparison that a difference exists between the at least one expected output and the at least one actual output.
