1. A computer implemented method for multi-threaded system level modeling simulation (SLMS) of a target system on a host system, the method comprising: beginning parallel execution of a plurality of SLMS processes via a plurality of threads, the SLMS processes representing functional behaviors of components within the target system; during the parallel execution of the SLMS processes, detecting operations within the SLMS processes that access at least one shared resource within the host system; and during the parallel execution, deferring execution of one or more of the operations within the SLMS processes that access the at least one shared resource within the host system until after the parallel execution is completed.
