Abstract :
Logic simulation is a crucial verification task in processor design. Aiming at significant acceleration of system simulation we have parallelized IBM´s cycle-based simulator TEXSIM. The resulting parallelTEXSIM has already been employed successfully in simulating S/390 architectures on IBM SP systems. Here we present parallelTEXSIM together with its model partitioning environment
