NODIFS-simulating faults fast

This paper describes the algorithm CON2FERS, which exploits the event-level and component-level parallelisms in the concurrent technique for fault and design error simulation. This algorithm assumes asynchronous, messagebased operation with NORMA, and MIMD models of programming. A design verification tool based on this algorithm is developed with object-oriented methodology using C++ and PVM. This implementation is executable on any Network of Workstations (NOW) and/or any general purpose parallel machine. The statistics on fault and error simulation performance and load balancing for some benchmark circuits are presented. Various experimental results of the efect of network and load on the performance of the CON2FERS, and the applicability of the algorithm for the hardware acceleration of CFES are also presented.

This paper provides eflcient design verification methodologies based on concurrent simulation technique which is implemented zn the interactive simulation automation system (ISAS). Concurrent simulation is not a new technique, however, the ISAS exploits many parallelisms during the simulation procedure and applies it to three different types of simulation: concurrent (C-sim), distributed concurrent (De-sim), and concurrent-concurrent (CON2FERS). ISAS automates the simulation procedure with a graphic user interface and handles not only fault models, but also desagn error models. It generates fault and design error coverage metrics for the user. This paper provides a description of three types of concurrent simulators with performance results.
