Abstract :
A SystemC based emulator architecture optimized for reconfigurable array processor is proposed. With novel architecture, the emulator support performance evaluation, rtl co-simulation as well as system software development. The emulator has been used in the development of a reconfigurable multimedia application processor (ReMAP) which has been successfully fabricated under SMIC 0.18 um processing.
