Abstract
A computer implemented method receives a request to run a group of instruction sets. Each instruction set is associated with a sequence of common instructions. The method executes the sequence of common instructions in a first virtual machine (VM) to generate a result which is stored in a first memory associated with the first VM. The method then clones a second VM that shares the first memory with the first VM. The method continues by executing a first instruction set in the second VM. Since the second VM shares memory with the first VM, the second VM can use the result stored in the first memory and the sequence of common instructions does not need to be executed on the second VM. In one example, the result is a run-time model of a circuit and the second VM runs the first instruction set on the run-time model.
