Abstract :
A special-purpose logic simulation processor (SP) and a software system for the SP for use in verifying the design of computers and other logic devices are described. The system can evaluate a logic circuit containing 4 million logic primitives and 32 Mbytes of memory at a maximum speed of 800 million active primitive evaluations per second. An outline is given of the hardware architecture, and a software system that optimizes hardware performance is discussed.<>
