LMG SmartModels

The Synopsys Logic Modeling Group (LMG) distributes SWIFT SmartModels for a large number of Xilinx devices. Instead of simulating devices at the gate level, SmartModels represent the FPGA as "black boxes" that accept input stimulus and respond with appropriate output behavior. Such behavioral models are well suited for distribution in object code form because they provide improved performance over gate-level models.
