Abstract :
Reconfigurable computing is becoming an important part of research in computer architecture and software systems. The principal benefits of reconfigurable computing are their ability to realize the flexibility of a software-based solution while retaining the execution speed of a more traditional, hardware-based approach. A great acceleration in the simulation time of digital circuits can be achieved by making a configurable device behave exactly as a given circuit. Simulation is then conducted on this hardware device instead of a software simulator.
