Abstract
A host interface for a logic simulation machine for transferring data between the logic simulation machine and a host computer is disclosed. The host interface includes a First-In First-Out buffer provided between the logic simulation machine and the host computer for temporarily storing data being transferred between the logic simulation machine and the host computer until a receiver of the data is ready to receive the data. The host interface minimizes delays due to host interaction with the logic simulation machine during the communication between the host and the logic simulation machine.
