Abstract
Method and system are disclosed for repetitive circuit simulation. In one embodiment, a computer implemented method for performing multiple simulations of a circuit includes providing descriptions of connectivity, instants, signal activities, and statistical parameters of the circuit, parsing the circuit in accordance with the descriptions of connectivity, instants, signal activities, and statistical parameters of the circuit to form one or more circuit partitions, performing a first pass simulation of the one or more circuit partitions in accordance with a set of stimuli to generate a history of the first pass simulation, and performing subsequent simulation of the one or more circuit partitions using the history of the first pass simulation.
