The Yorktown Simulation Engine: Introduction

摘要: The Yorktown Simulation Engine (YSE) is a special-purpose, highly-parallel programmable machine for the gate-level simulation of logic. It can simulate up to one million gates at speed over two billion gate simulations per second; it estimated that IBM 3081 processor could have been simulated on YSE rate 1000 instructions second. This far beyond capabilities existing register-level software simulators. has designed and being constructed T. J. Watson Research Center. paper introduces describes its top-level architecture.
