Abstract
The present invention discloses a simulation processor for simulating a system comprising a system component. The simulation processor comprises a look-up table circuit (LUT) and an arithmetic logic circuit (ALC). The LUT is formed on the backside of the processor substrate and stores data related to a mathematical model of the system component. The ALC is formed on the front side of the processor substrate and performs arithmetic operations on the model-related data. The LUT and the ALC are communicatively coupled by a plurality of through-silicon vias (TSV).
