Accelerated cosimulation using reconfigurable computing

Reconfigurable computing is becoming an important part of research in computer architecture and software systems. The principal benefits of reconfigurable computing are their ability to realize the flexibility of a software-based solution while retaining the execution speed of a more traditional, hardware-based approach. A great acceleration in the simulation time of digital circuits can be achieved by making a configurable device behave exactly as a given circuit. Simulation is then conducted on this hardware device instead of a software simulator.
