A general method to double the cycle simulation speed

Cycle simulation is a well known method for high speed simulation. The technique of reducing master/slave latch pairs to single latches is also known, however, only if the master/slave latch pairs are used as defined. Today's highly optimized hardware designs use master/slave latches in such a general way, that a reduction to single latches has become a challenge. This paper shows a method to reach single latch models. General simulation problems of single latch models are also discussed.
