CAREER: A Logic Emulation Infrastructure for Research and Teaching

CCR-9875564 HauckLogic仿真系统为复杂电路的设计提供了一个必不可少的工具，但在设计将设计转换为仿真器的映射软件方面存在重大障碍。 这些障碍限制了使用逻辑仿真来模拟设计的潜力。 这项研究正在探索新的算法，分布式计算技术，和质量/性能权衡需要提高性能的映射软件。 该项目还开发了一个公开的映射流，以帮助研究这些系统，以及一套大型的，现实的基准电路。 最后，将这些设备集成到逻辑设计课程中的方法，允许学生设计的近速度执行，以及更逼真的设计经验正在被追求。

CCR-9875564HauckLogic emulation systems provide an essential tool for the design of complex circuits, but there are significant obstacles to design of the mapping software that translates designs to the emulator. Such obstacles limit the potential to use logic emulation to simulate designs. This research is exploring new algorithms, distributed computing techniques, and quality/performance tradeoffs needed to increase the performance of the mapping software. The project is also developing a publicly available mapping flow to aid research into these systems, as well as set of large, realistic benchmark circuits. Finally, methods for integrating these devices into logic design curricula, allowing for near-speed execution of student designs, and much more realistic design experiences are being pursued.
