Abstract

Simulating hardware includes generating a data flow representation of the hardware, based on a hardware description language (HDL) description. The data flow representation including compatibility information that preserves behavioral and synthesizable characteristics of the HDL description. Simulating hardware further includes generating code from the data flow representation, and executing the code concurrently.
