Abstract

A computer-implemented method of scheduling a multi-rate, synchronous circuit design for simulation within a high-level modeling system. The method can include determining a component clocking rate for each of a plurality of synchronous components of the circuit design and classifying each of the plurality of synchronous components into a plurality of schedules according to component clocking rate. For each clock cycle during simulation, the method can include selecting one of the plurality of schedules and executing each synchronous component of the selected schedule. A value determined through execution of a synchronous component of the circuit design can be output.
