Abstract
Approaches for simulating and processing a circuit design involve recognizing by a design processing tool a replaceable subsystem in a circuit design having multiple blocks. The replaceable subsystem includes a subset of the blocks. The design tool converts the subset of blocks into an executable program and schedules activation of blocks of the circuit design other than the subset of blocks during simulation of the circuit design. The scheduled blocks are activated during simulation according to the scheduling, and activation of the subset of the plurality of blocks is bypassed during simulation with a call to the executable program.
