Abstract
In one embodiment, a method comprises retaining at least a portion of simulation results corresponding to a first simulateable partition from a previous simulation time; and using the simulation results for a second simulateable partition (or the first simulateable partition) at a current simulation time if the second simulateable partition is equivalent to the first simulateable partition and one or more input stimuli to the second simulateable partition at the current simulation time are approximately the same as the input stimuli to the first simulateable partition at the previous simulation time. Computer accessible media storing instructions that implement the method are also contemplated.
