  • Publication number: 20230306169
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosed technology relate to hybrid static and dynamic switching in a reconfigurable hardware modeling circuit for flexible and low latency communications. The reconfigurable hardware modeling circuit comprises serializer circuitry and deserializer circuitry for one or more communication ports, wherein the serializer circuitry has first sub-channels for receiving data to be sent out from the reconfigurable hardware modeling circuit, and the deserializer circuitry has second sub-channels for outputting data received by the reconfigurable hardware modeling circuit.

  • Publication number: 20220329351
    Abstract: Each of a plurality of reconfigurable hardware modeling circuits in a reconfigurable hardware modeling device comprises: a plurality of communication ports; error monitoring circuitry configured to monitor, while the reconfigurable hardware modeling device is performing an operation for verifying a circuit design, whether data received from the plurality of communication ports contain an error or not, and send out an error signal indicating the monitoring result; and rollback circuitry configured to, if data received by any of the plurality of reconfigurable hardware modeling circuits contain an error, enable the reconfigurable hardware modeling circuit to repeat the operation from a state before the error is received, and if data received by the plurality of reconfigurable hardware modeling circuits contain no error, allow the reconfigurable hardware modeling circuit to continue the operation.

  • Patent number: 11113441
    Abstract: Each reconfigurable hardware modeling circuit of a plurality of reconfigurable hardware modeling circuits in a reconfigurable hardware modeling device comprises: a model computation subsystem configurable either to model elements of a circuit design, or to serve as a testbench element, or both, and a network subsystem comprising: network circuitry and signal reduction circuitry, the signal reduction circuitry configurable to perform a signal reduction function, the signal reduction function combining a plurality of status signals into a single status signal, the plurality of status signals comprising status signals received from one or more reconfigurable hardware modeling circuits in the plurality of reconfigurable hardware modeling circuits. Alternatively or additionally, each network circuit of a plurality of network circuits in the reconfigurable hardware modeling device may comprise signal reduction circuitry configurable to perform the signal reduction function.

  • Patent number: 7823001
    Abstract: In emulation systems having a plurality of chips, data communicated between the chips needs to be synchronized. A receiver chip may push or pull on incoming data from an emitter chip in order to synchronize it with a receiver clock. Unexpected latency on the link between the emitter and receiver chips may also be adjusted for.
