Partitioning of Vhdl Models for a Distributed Simulation in a Workstation Cluster
نویسندگان
چکیده
One approach to accelerate a simulation of digital circuits described in VHDL is a distributed simulation of the VHDL model in a cluster of general purpose workstations. This paper describes an algorithm for the partitioning of the VHDL model, especially adapted for the requirements of this simulation type.

Behavioral Modeling and Simulation of Semiconductor Devices and Circuits Using VHDL-AMS
During the past few years, a lot of work has been done on behavioral models and simulation tools. But a need for modeling strategy still remains. The VHDL-AMS language supports the description of analog electronic circuits using Ordinary Differential Algebraic Equations (ODAEs), in addition to its support for describing discrete-event systems. For VHDL-AMS to be useful to the analog design ...

VHDL is the one of the most important and widely used hardware description languages at this time. The increase in size and complexity of VHDL models necessitates the use of parallel and distributed algorithms to obtain acceptable simulation performance. We have investigated the use of optimistic distributed algorithms with VHDL simulation. Using an optimistic algorithm with VHDL introduces som...

متن کاملTop-down modeling of RISC processors in VHDL
In this report, we present a top-down VHDL modeling technique which consists of two main modeling levels: speci cation level and functional level. We modeled a RISC Processor (RP) in order to demonstrate the feasibility and e ectiveness of this methodology. All models have been simulated on a SPARC 1 workstation using the ZYCAD VHDL simulator, version 1.0a. Experimental results show feasibility...

Mobile sensor networks rely heavily on inter-sensor connectivity for collection of data. Nodes in these networks monitor different regions of an area of interest and collectively present a global overview of some monitored activities or phenomena. A failure of a sensor leads to loss of connectivity and may cause partitioning of the network into disjoint segments. A number of approaches have be...
