Abstract

LOGIQUE (LOGIc simulation with QUEry) is a parallel logic simulation algorithm for parallel machines with a shared memory. In order to make the best use of the parallelism, queries are issued aggressively. The large overhead in the traditional query‐based parallel discrete event simulation (PDES) algorithm is reduced by replacing the query message with a reference to the shared variables. LOGIQUE has been implemented on a multiprocessor and used to simulate logic circuits. The results, which demonstrate the efficiency of LOGIQUE, are presented.
