Parallel processing is one method to reduce simulation time.
In this paper, we discuss a technique to partition the fault set for fault parallel simulation on multiple processors. When applied statically, the technique can scale well for up to 32 processors. The fault set partitioning technique is simple and can itself be parallelized. An existing uniprocessor algorithm can be used for parallel simulation without modification. Therefore, the techniques can be used effectively on a low-cost parallel resource, such as a network of workstations.
