| Simulator | Accelerator | Emulator | Prototyping | |
| Bringup Effort (on Design Change) | Easy (1 hour) | Medium (2 hours - 2 days) | Medium (2 hours - 2 days) | Difficult (2 weeks ~ 2 months) |
| Performance | few KHz | 500KHz - 1 Mhz | 1Mhz - 2Mhz | 10Mhz - 50Mhz |
| Turnaround time (just N run) | Slow | Faster | Fast | Fastest (with large N) |
- 2X clock rate w.r.t. PZ1
- Single-bit multiplexing device, used for inter-board interconnection
- FPGA technology has 40x araa overhead compared to ASIC technology
-
ICE: physical replacement for an ASIC in a target system
- target system is a real HW
- uses physical connection between the emulator and the target system
-
SA: a.k.a. coverification or cosimulation
- target system is simulated in simulator (IES)
