FPGA-Based Simulators
==============================

FireSim
-----------------------
FireSim is an open-source cycle-accurate FPGA-accelerated full-system hardware simulation platform that runs on cloud FPGAs (Amazon EC2 F1).
FireSim allows RTL-level simulation at orders-of-magnitude faster speeds than software RTL simulators. FireSim also provide additional device models to allow full-system simulation, including memory models and network models.

FireSim currently supports running only on Amazon EC2 F1 FPGA-enabled virtual instances on the public cloud. In order to simulate your ReBAR design using FireSim, you should follow the following steps:

Follow the initial EC2 setup instructions as detailed in the FireSim documentatino <link>. Then clone your full ReBAR repository onto your Amazon EC2 FireSim manager instance.

Enter the ``sims/FireSim`` directory, and follow the FireSim instructions for running a simulation <link>
