Abstract(in English) There are two major approaches to evaluate new computer architesture, the evaluation with software emulator on WS or high-performance PC. The other is the evaluation on hardware emulator. However, it takes very long time on the evaluation with the software emulator to new architecture using large benchmark programs. On the other hand, it is expensive to develop a machine. Also, it takes long time to develop new machine. Even if we have hardware, it is very difficult to modify it. So, evaluation of different architecture is difficult by using the same hardware. To cope with these problems, we have been developed an architecture emulator, which is high-performance with floating point arithmetic unit ; not so expensive cost, reconfigurable easily. It is combination of S-RAM based large scale FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array). During the execution of real-benchmark program, many amount of floating division operation may be executed. So we have designed a reciprocal number calculation circuit considering the feature of FPGAs.
