Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that profiles a serial simulation of a circuit to estimate the performance of a parallel simulation of the circuit. During operation, the system profiles execution of module instances during a serial simulation of the circuit, wherein each module instance includes code which simulates signal propagation through a corresponding circuit module. Next, the system uses execution times for the module instances obtained from the serial simulation to estimate the performance of a parallel simulation of the circuit. |
