Quoting "Mike Marion" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
And from what I understand.. it can takes days to emulate even a few
clock ticks from the designs. There are/were some hw systems that
could far outpace software testing at one point (Ikos comes to mind)
but last I heard, general computing CPUs had outpaced them.. and
they were crazy expensive too.
Having an IC design/layout is a LOT different then having an
emulation of the finished process(or).
Oops.. I'm thinking the physical design/test vs the earlier vhdl type stuff.
