Abstract

The given paper presents the state of the art in the FPGA-based logic emulation. The analysis of the existing emulation solutions is performed according to the following classification : (1) large emulation systems (Quickturn [26], Ikos [16], MentorGraphics [21]); (2) semi-custom rapid prototyping boards (Aptix [3], Simutech [24]); (3) custom prototyping solutions (Transmogrifier2 [20], Weaver [6], Replica [18], FPGA vendors demonstration and prototyping boards [31], [2], microprocessor-based boards, etc.). Each system is exposed in terms of its capacity, architecture, used FPGAs and performance.
