VHE: GPU-Accelerated Gate-Level Simulation at Zero License Cost
The Problem
Our NPU design hit 1.4 million gates. Verilator started a convolution test.
Runtime: 139 billion cycles
VCD trace: 56 GB
Status: Killed after 3 days
Commercial emulators cost alot. We're a startup in India. That wasn't happening.
What We...
