Abstract
In an emulation system, a method is provided to schedule evaluations of state elements and memory elements receiving signals from multiple asynchronous clock domains, such that causality and hold time requirements are satisfied. In addition, a method is provided such that logic signals responsive to multiple asynchronous clock domains are transported along separate single domain path of substantially equal transit times. In one implementation, the scheduling method computes departure times and ready times for output and input terminals of logic modules, such as FPGAs.
