Abstract
In one embodiment, a plurality of kernels are provided. Each kernel may simulate a partition of a design under test. A plurality of event regions are provided. The regions may be in an ordered priority. Events for the device under test may be determined for event regions in each of the kernels. An event region to execute events in is then determined and all kernels may execute events in the same event region. Kernels then execute events for the determined event region. When finished executing events in an event queue, data synchronization may occur. In this case, information may be synced among kernels, such as status and state values for shared objected are synchronized.
