Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for emulating hardware. The apparatus includes a data array configured to store input data for an emulation cycle and a carry chain coupled to the data array receives one or more inputs from the data array. The carry chain is configured to generate output data in response to performing an arithmetic operation by a set of configurable logic gates using the one or more inputs in a pre-determined number of clock cycles. One or more processors are coupled to the carry chain and the data array, and are configured to emulate a logic gate function using at least the input data from the data array or the output data from the carry chain.
