TY - JOUR TI - Java Based Transistor Level CPU Simulation Speedup Techniques AU - Wojtowicz, Tomasz TI - Java Based Transistor Level CPU Simulation Speedup Techniques AB - Transistor level simulation of the CPU, while very accurate, brings also the performance challenge. MOS6502 CPU simulation algorithm is analysed with several optimisation techniques proposed. Application of these techniques improved the transistor level simulation speed by a factor of 3–4, bringing it to the levels on par with fastest RTL-level simulations so far.
