Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for using a graphics processor as a coprocessor to a general purpose processor to perform register transfer level simulations may improve simulation performance compared with using only the general purpose processor. The internal state of memory elements of an RTL model of an electronic circuit are stored as surface data for each simulation timestep. Transform functions are used to determine a next state based on the current state and simulation inputs. The transfer functions are expressed as a graphics program, such as a shader or vertex program that may be executed by a programmable graphics processor.
