Various techniques for use in connection with automated circuit design and simulations are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving initial condition signals from circuitry in a chip, and correlating values of at least some of the initial condition signals with objects in a hardware description language (HDL) used in simulation, wherein the HDL was used in describing at least some of the circuitry in the chip. Still other embodiments involve memory substitutions. Replicated circuitry may be in the same chip(s) are the design circuitry or a different chip(s). Still other embodiments are described.
