Abstract
A system, such as hardware or software system having a number of modules, is simulated using multi-tasking computer code. Simulation computer code launches tasks simulating system execution, where each task corresponds to a module. Each task requests a processing delay to a common scheduler. Upon the common scheduler receiving a processing delay request, the common scheduler instructs a scheduling method processor to update a task-remaining time for at least one task. The scheduling method processor updates the task-remaining time for at least one task based at least on a scheduling approach. The common scheduler sends a wait request to a preexisting simulation system to delay a module that corresponds to the task by a length of time, based on the task-remaining time for the task and the scheduling approach. The preexisting simulation system delays the module that corresponds to the task by the length of time of the wait request.
