Logic simulation is an interesting beast. Most engineers know what it does and what it's for, but few understand its subtle ramifications. Several techniques exist for verifying the functionality of a ...

Designing with synchronous clocks avoids metastability issues on clock domain crossings, but it presents its own challenges when multi-cycle and false paths are involved. A multi-cycle path (MCP) ...

The DesignWare ARC nSIM Instruction Set Simulator aims to address these challenges by providing two simulation modes; a fast-functional mode and a near cycle accurate mode. The fast-functional mode is ...

The oil and gas production explosion is driving the renaissance of the chemical and process industries in North America. With low-cost natural gas comes low-cost feedstock for many chemical compounds, ...

A thermodynamic cycle simulation using multiple zones for the combustion process was used to obtain the performance, energy and availability characteristics for an automotive spark-ignition engine. In ...
