Simulation system and method

A method in a simulation system comprising:

• implementing a plurality of threads of execution (threads) using a plurality of processor cores and an operating system that allocates a time quantum of a predetermined execution time to each thread during which the thread will not be preempted during execution;
• monitoring timing requirements of each of a plurality of tasks included in application code for a plurality of distinct virtual platforms;
• segmenting each of the plurality of tasks into one or more sequences of programmed instructions that can complete execution in a thread within a time quantum;
• providing the one or more sequences of programmed instructions for each of the plurality of tasks as a plurality of programmed instruction sequences with specific timing requirements;
• scheduling each of the plurality of programed instruction sequences, based on the specific timing requirements, to execute in one of the plurality of threads at an appropriate time;
• and
• performing real-time simulation of application code utilizing available computing compacity at full capacity.

A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with programming instructions configurable to cause a simulation system to perform a method, the method comprising:
