Abstract
A method for simulating a system normally performs functional simulation of the system without performing timing simulation of the system. The method dynamically samples the functional simulation of the system at intervals to determine whether the functional simulation has entered into a new phase. Where the functional simulation has entered into a new phase, the method performs both the functional simulation and the timing simulation of the system for one or more intervals.
