Will-be-set-by-IN-TECHRTL-level simulations may work for several modules, the exploration space will become prohibitive large in the multiple-module case.Therefore, previous RTL-level simulating method is neither time-efficient nor optimal.Second, the processing rate among modules may bring a large mismatch, which causes a serious performance degradation.Block level parallelism should be introduced to solve the mismatches between modules.Finally, the C program partition is another challenge for the hierarchical design methodology.
