→Length of simulation: This is true but looks like original research as there is no single source I can find that states just that. Adding a citation needed tag for now |
→Event simulation versus cycle simulation: This reference discusses even simulation. Likely does not cover the entire context in the article so can be replaced with additional or better references if found |

== Event simulation versus cycle simulation ==
[[Discrete event simulation|Event simulation]] allows the design to contain simple timing information – the delay needed for a signal to travel from one place to another. During simulation, signal changes are tracked in the form of events. A change at a certain time triggers an event after a certain delay. Events are sorted by the time when they will occur, and when all events for a particular time have been handled, the simulated time is advanced to the time of the next scheduled event. How fast an event simulation runs depends on the number of events to be processed (the amount of activity in the model).<ref>{{cite web |title=Network Modeling and Simulation Environment |url=https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA566432.pdf |website=Defense Technical Information Center |access-date=January 1, 2023}}</ref>
While event simulation can provide some feedback regarding signal timing, it is not a replacement for [[static timing analysis]].
