Special-purpose CAD hardware is increasingly being considered as a means to meet the challenge posed to conventional (software-based) CAD tools by the growing complexity of VLSI circuits. The architecture of a logic simulation machine employing distributed and parallel processing is described. It can accommodate different levels of modelling ranging from simple gates to complex functions, and support timing analysis. It is estimated that simulation implemented by the proposed special-purpose hardware will be between 10 and 60 times faster than currently used software algorithms running on general-purpose computers. 18 references.
