A reconfigurable system for verification of electronic circuits using high-speed serial links to connect asymmetrical evaluation and canvassing instruction processors

摘要

A reconfigurable scalable system for verifying electronic circuit designs in anticipation of fabrication by compiling a hardware description to instructions for canvassing processors and instructions for circuit evaluation processors which are scalably interconnected by reconfigurable high-speed serial links to provide simulation and emulation, having deterministically scheduled transfer of circuit signal values among the large number of circuit evaluation processors.
