“…are modelled as "Logical Processes" (LPs) which may be executed on different processors [9]. Distributed simulation has emerged as a particularly promising and viable approach to alleviate the simulation bottleneck in VLSI design and over the past ten years has received considerable attention from researchers in mainstream Hardware Description Languages such as VHDL and Verilog [3,15]. Distributed simulation techniques, albeit ad hoc, are progressively finding their place in innovative commercial hardware design environments (e.g.…”
