摘要： The operation of an electronic system comprising a plurality of integrated circuits or other circuit elements is simulated using a software-based development tool that provides a generic framework for simultaneous simulation of multiple circuit elements having potentially different clock speeds, latencies or other characteristics. One or more interfaces provided in the software-based development tool permit registration of processing events associated with one or more of the circuit elements. The software-based development tool is further operative to determine a system clock for a given simulation, and to schedule execution of the associated processing events in a manner that takes into account differences between the system clock and one or more circuit element clocks, so as to maintain consistency in the execution of the processing events relative to the determined system clock.
