LOGICAL SIMULATION PROCESSOR

摘要

PURPOSE:To perform logical simulation at a high speed by using a clock advance means which processes plural clock signals (i) in the form of signal value 'Ci'. CONSTITUTION:A storage device 5 contains a program storing area 51 and a data storing area 52. The area 51 stores a program which controls the logical simulation of this logic simulation processor. While the area 52 stores a table group that translates a logic circuit to the simulated into a form which can undergo the logical simulation and another table group that is used to hold the advance state of the clock signal or advances the clock signal. A logical simulation-only computing element 32 provided in an arithmetic processing part 3 supplies data received from a register group 4 by a command of an instruction control part 1 to calculate the output signal value and sends the result of this calculation to the group 4 again.
