Chapter 23. High-Performance Gate-Level Simulation with GP-GPUs
Debapriya Chatterjee, Andrew DeOrio and Valeria Bertacco
A successful, correctly functioning product is the goal of every semiconductor design. However, correctness is an elusive goal, complicated by ever-increasing complexity of hardware designs. This complexity is enabled by continually shrinking semiconductor technology, enabling designs that incorporate more and more components and functionality with each new generation. Verifying a complex chip is the most time-consuming process in the design flow, typically carried out through logic simulation, a computationally intensive process where the nascent design is tested for correct functionality. Logic simulation is traditionally ...
