In the simulation of an analog and mixed-signal analog-digital physical circuit, events are assigned scheduled times. The events are stored in buckets in a hash table, with the scheduled times of the events in each bucket associated with the bucket. The scheduled times are organized into a heap, with...http://www.google.ca/patents/US6961689?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US6961689 - Scheduling non-integral simulation time for mixed-signal simulation
