Processor based logic simulation acceleration and emulation system

Abstract

An emulation and simulation acceleration system includes a plurality of processors, wherein each of the plurality of processors is configured to run a separate simulation task in a parallel manner. Each of the plurality of processors includes a local memory for instructions and data, a memory space for saving received data from other processors of the plurality of processors. The system includes a plurality of connection channels between each processor of the plurality of processors, wherein each of the plurality of connection channels is either virtual or physical, and each of the plurality of connection channels extends through computer hardware or memory mapping. The system includes a plurality of system interfaces configured to interface with other systems for expansion to a larger system or to connect with external target system. Each of the plurality of system interfaces contains a virtual interface and a physical interface for connecting with other simulators.
