Description:
In this Microsoft Research video, Eric Chung, PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University, discusses the ProtoFlex simulation architecture for accelerating full-system multiprocessor simulation using FPGAs, which addresses the limited throughput shortcomings of simulators such as Virtutech Simics. In ProtoFlex, only a small set of frequently encountered behaviors are implemented in the FPGA for acceleration while a software-based reference simulator supports the extensive set of infrequent behaviors. Learn about the various advantages PhotoFlex has over the conventional FPGA emulation and why it could pave a new pathway for simulators of this kind.
