Abstract

Explicit-multi-threading (XMT) is a parallel programming approach for exploiting on-chip parallelism. Its fine-grained SPMD programming model is suitable for many computing intensive applications. In this paper, we present a parallel gate level logic simulation algorithm and study its implementation on an XMT processor. The test results show that hundreds-fold speedup can be achieved.
