Abstract
A method of simulating a system on a computer. The method comprises the following steps. First, analyze a hardware design language specification of the system to identify a set of processes. The hardware design language specification includes a register transfer level definition of a part of the system. Identify a set of triggered processes from the set of processes. Identify a set of triggers for the set of triggered processes, where a first trigger of the set of triggers is for causing a state change in a simulation of the system. Determine an evaluation order of the set of processes using the set of triggers. Simulate the system using the evaluation order.
