Abstract :
This paper presents a fast logic simulator based on Galois field. This is designed to act as an underlying tool for all finite field applications considering the fact that simulation plays an important role in all these applications. Three approaches for finite field representation and its evaluation are discussed. In addition an approach for normalizing the finite field based decision diagrams is also presented. The experimental results show the trade-off that can be made by using different design representations between spatial complexity and speed. Also the results show that it can be used in conventional simulation environment to achieve speedup.
