  Building oscillator based computing systems with emerging nano-device
technologies has become a promising solution for unconventional computing tasks
like computer vision and pattern recognition. However, simulation and analysis
of these systems is both time and compute intensive due to the nonlinearity of
new devices and the complex behavior of coupled oscillators. In order to speed
up the simulation of coupled oscillator systems, we propose a simplified phase
model to perform phase and frequency synchronization prediction based on a
synthesis of earlier models. Our model can predict the frequency locking
behavior with several orders of magnitude speedup compared to direct
evaluation, enabling the effective and efficient simulation of the large
numbers of oscillators required for practical computing systems.
