Abstract

The high costs associated with logic simulation of large VLSI circuits has led to the need for new computer architectures tailored to the simulation task. Such architectures have the potential for significant speed ups over software-based logic simulators executing on standard sequential computers. This paper presents a model of one class of multiprocessor simulation architectures and compares the performance of some of these machines using data obtained from simulations of VLSI circuits. In addition, we discuss the implications of our results on machine design.
