Estimating system performance using an integrated circuit |
摘要 |
A method of estimating performance of a design can include selecting a segment of the design for hardware emulation within an emulation system implemented within an integrated circuit. The emulation system can include a generic accelerator coupled to a processor of the integrated circuit. The method further can include modifying the design, using a processor of a host system, to invoke the generic accelerator in lieu of executing the selected segment within the processor of the emulation system during emulation. |

1. A method of estimating performance of a design, the method comprising:
selecting a segment of the design comprising a plurality of segments for hardware emulation; wherein the design is specified using processor-executable instructions; and modifying the design, using a processor of a host system, to invoke a generic accelerator of an emulation system in lieu of executing the selected segment within a processor of the emulation system; wherein at least one other segment of the plurality of segments executes in the processor of the emulation system; implementing the emulation system within an integrated circuit; and programming the generic accelerator to mimic behavior of the selected segment and generate a data traffic pattern corresponding to the selected segment without performing an exact function of the selected segment. |
