Abstract
The requirements of large system design place great demands upon the performance and diagnostic capabilities of simulation. This paper explains how these requirements have been satisfied by an internally-developed simulator using a proprietary language and a proprietary platform. More significantly, this paper describes how the strengths of that system have been developed to create a VHDL simulator under UNIX while maintaining a performance level that significantly exceeds the leading commercial VHDL simulators
