Abstract
A method partitions a netlist into multiple clock domains. The number of clock domains is the number of primary input clocks plus one freerun domain. First, each functional block in the netlist is colored with a number of colors corresponding to the number of primary input clocks. Buckets are then created, with one bucket corresponding to a particular clock domain. Each functional block in the netlist is then placed in one of the buckets according to one or more partition criterion, which takes into account the color of logic that feeds a functional block and the color of logic that the functional block feeds. The result is that the original netlist is partitioned into multiple netlists, each of which corresponds to a single clock domain. These multiple netlists may be executed in parallel to emulate the function of the circuit represented in the netlist.
