CHAMP: concurrent hierarchical and multilevel program for simulation of VLSI circuits
The design and implementation of a hierarchical switch-level simulator for complex digital circuits is discussed. The hierarchy is exploited to reduce the memory requirements of the simulation, thus allowing the simulation of circuits that are too large to simulate at the flat level. The algorithm used in the simulator operates directly on the hierarchical circuit description. Speedup is obtained through the use of high-level models. The simulator has been implemented on a SUN workstation and used to simulate a switch-level description of the Motorola 68000 microprocessor.<>
