Paul, RE: this technique has merit - but it will be more in the domain of specialty research where new architectures can be simulated by reprogramming the FPGA chips, new instruction sets can be tried, etc. Even this has changed. I don't think they are still using this technique anymore as computers have become fast enough to run software simulators on dual/quad processor systems. Which makes is very easy to provide bug fixes in the simulators. Maybe smaller chip designers (embedded controllers, etc) do this where the complexity of the chips are small enough to produce a reasonably good first model of the chip in the emulator. Mula
