Mula - Re: '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." Thanks for the update. Technology marches on - a great idea in 1992 becomes obsolete within a few years. I wonder what next will become obsolete? Paul

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 I wonder how long it would take verilog-xl to boot windows on a quad machine running a p4 simulator ;-) I am still pretty sure there are hardware emulators for this.

Mula, It is pretty standard to boot Linux under software simulation of any new processor. However, software development is too slow in simulation, and requires emulators. Scumbria

bhagavathi, re:"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." You are about as wrong as one can get!!! regards, Kash
