Synchronizing distributed simulations of a circuit design

A system comprising:

• a first client device configured to simulate a first portion of a circuit design within a first simulation environment to generate first simulation data;
• a second client device configured to simulate a second portion of the circuit design within a second simulation environment to generate second simulation data, wherein the first simulation data and the second simulation data are generated asynchronously with each other;
• and
• a third client device configured to receive the first simulation data and the second simulation data from the first client device and the second client device synchronously with each other, and wherein functionality of the circuit design is determined based on the first simulation data and the second simulation data.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising stored instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive a circuit design including a first local clock signal, and a second local clock signal, and a primary clock signal;
• simulate a first portion of the circuit design within a first simulation environment to generate first simulation data based on the first local clock signal;
• simulate a second portion of the circuit design within a second simulation environment to generate second simulation data based on the second local clock signal;
• and
• receive the first simulation data and the second simulation data synchronously with each other and based on the primary clock signal, wherein the first simulation data and the second simulation data are generated asynchronously with the primary clock signal and each other, and wherein functionality of the circuit design is determined based on the first simulation data and the second simulation data.
