If you simulate cycle accuracy you don’t need to simulate each gate. Think of pins on your cpu and the trillions of gates. If you simulated your cpu you just care what’s at the pins. Not at the gates.
- zamadatix 5y agoThis assumes the gate level implementation doesn't have any side effects that are related to more than an instantaneous state. Seemingly unlikely as that is a larger class than the group of side effects mentioned in the quote above.
- flatiron 5y agoYou are right. You buy nothing other than research for gate level. For accuracy you simply need cycle level (which is nothing easy mind you)
