摘要: This paper presents the architecture of a special-purpose computer for logic simulation using distributed processing. The is based on utilization inexpensive microprocessors interconnected by communication structure. structure cross-point simple evaluations and time-shared parallel bus functional evaluations. Analysis carried out to show that performance proposed simulator better over two orders magnitude than traditional general-purpose computer. Also, power proportional number slave processors certain range.
