The authors describe an environment supporting concurrent hardware and software engineering for high performance systems. In place of a conventional bread-boarded prototype, they used distributed communicating processes to allow software and simulated hardware to interact. The Cadence Verilog-XL simulator was extended to enable software debugging and testing using hardware simulation. The environment was proven during a successful system design
