To date, the most common form of simulators of computer systems are
software-based running on standard computers. One promising
approach to improve simulation performance is to apply hardware,
specifically reconfigurable hardware in the form of field
programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). This manuscript describes various
approaches of using FPGAs to accelerate software-implemented
simulation of computer systems and selected simulators that
incorporate those techniques. More precisely, we describe a
simulation architecture taxonomy that incorporates a simulation
architecture specifically designed for FPGA accelerated simulation,
survey the state-of-the-art in FPGA-accelerated simulation, and
describe in detail selected instances of the described techniques.
