Title
Portable parallel logic and fault simulation
Abstract
Consideration is given to the use of general-purpose multiprocessors for various simulation tasks. The aims of the work are to define a general framework for the parallel simulation of digital systems and to develop and evaluate tools for logic and fault simulation that have a good cost-performance ratio. Specifically, a novel partitioning approach is introduced and used as the basis for the parallel logic and fault simulation of synchronous gate-level designs. Performance experiments with prototype implementations on a message passing and a shared memory machine give promising results, in particular for fault simulation.<>
