Here is the relevant quote from the Quickturn story. Not a whole lot here, but maybe somebody will see SOME useful information in this: "We already relied heavily on emulation when we began designing our latest generation PCI audio chip," said David Rossum, Chief Scientist of Creative Technology, Joint E-Mu Creative Technology Center. "We have used Quickturn emulation to verify all of the ASICs we have developed which use Sand's bus cores. Emulation not only provided us the visibility we needed to find and eliminate bugs, it gave us the ability to measure the in-system performance of the new chip, giving us a much better probability of first silicon success. In just a few hours after receiving our first prototype, we were playing sounds."
