Abstract

This paper describes the organisation of a concurrent functional simulator employing transputers which gives considerably improved performance over conventional simulators. The parallel organisation allows a novel feature, incremental simulation, to be provided which allows the simulator to respond very quickly to design changes thereby allowing the design to proceed with the minimum of delay. The paper describes how the incremental facility is capable of being used to provide a very powerful analysis tool for system operation.
