Abstract(in English) In recent SoC (System on Chip) design, more then 60% of design period has been spent by the verification, so we need efficient verification method to reduce the verification time. In the verification, functional simulation is mainly applied, and the acceleration of the simulation by using hardware emulation with FPGA is considered effective. The emulation for large circuits, however, is rather slow, and the speed-up is expected for the reduction of the verification time. In this report, we show an accelerator method based on synchronous pipelining and false-path based combinational circuit delay reduction method. The synchronous pipelining is effective to one-dimensional processing circuits. In the false path-based methods, we focus on the 0&1 skip method where we propagate 0-signal and 1-signal separately.
