The present invention relates generally to the field of electronic digital hardware design, and more particularly to the simulation and/or synthesis of such designs. The invention is particularly suited for use in the design of integrated circuits (ICs), such as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and the design of programmable logic devices (PLDs), such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The invention also relates to the field of hardware description languages (HDLs), and is suited for use by a hardware designer for the purpose of logic synthesis and/or logic simulation.

The technology disclosed provides the following advantages:

The invention describes a tool or collection of tools for aiding the electronic digital hardware design process.
The invention has the advantage that time-consuming simulation set ups are run once only, and are then followed by very fast subsequent simulation passes.
The invention enables the user to use, represent and/or manipulate an RTL abstraction of the digital circuit.
The invention constrains a design so that logical constructs can only occur within portions of code which are not conditional upon the state of any input signal. This has the advantage that each simulation pass through the design, encounters the logical constructs in the same order leading to huge simulation efficiency gains.
The invention enables the user to simulate and/or synthesize a circuit design, and analyze the performance of a circuit constructed in accordance with the design.
The invention enables the user to express or describe the design in an HDL specified in accordance with the rules of the invention.
The invention allows creation of multiple simulator objects to provide advantages in situations where, for example, the user wishes to run a number of separate simulations concurrently.
The invention avoids the simulation time overheads associated with thread or process switching.
The invention is easier to debug because it is single threaded.
