What does it mean to be a transistor-level simulation in this context?
I used to work with circuit simulators to design circuits (discrete and integrated) and there are many transistor models (mathematical models) depending on the use case. In spirit, not too unlike DFT for Schrodinger equations in quantum mechanics.
- BHSPitMonkey 5y agoMost game emulators are looking at the instructions from a ROM file and then implementing those CPU instructions in code. Usually with those approaches there are inconsistencies due to the original game console's quirks (or bugs/flaws) that show up during gameplay, making the emulation not completely true to the original hardware. In this context it means emulating "perfectly" by actually simulating the hardware in full instead of taking the aforementioned approach.
- quanto 5y agoSo, in this context, transistor-level simulation does not mean actually simulating transistors (voltages, currents, doping, etc)?
- Volker_W 5y agoI would guess "transistor-level simulation" means you simulate a NAND transistor by doing something like. bool c = !(a && b)
- JoeAltmaier 5y agoMaybe saying 'gate-level' would be more accurate
