Abstract

Cycle-based simulation at RT- and gate level realized by a Levelized Compiled Code (LCC) technique represents a well established method for functional verification in processor design. We present a parallel LCC simulation system developed to run on loosely-coupled processor systems allowing significant simulation acceleration. It comprises three parallel simulators and a complex model partitioning environment. A key idea of our approach is to valuate circuit model partitions with respect to the expected parallel simulation run-time and to integrate corresponding cost functions into partitioning algorithms. Experimental results are given with respect to IBM processor models of different size.
