Abstract
A system for applying distributed software simulation techniques to hardware emulation may include a first hardware emulator mounted on a first expansion board at a first host, and a second hardware emulator mounted on a second expansion board at a second host. The first hardware emulator may be configured to emulate a first portion of a system under test, and the second hardware emulator may be configured to emulate a second portion of the system under test, and the first and second hardware emulators may coordinate an emulation of the system under test using one or more messages, i.e., a coordination of an emulation of the system under test may be accomplished using communications between the first and second hardware emulators.
