Abstract
One embodiment illustrated herein includes a hardware system for simulating a network physical layer for communication channels. The hardware system includes a plurality of hardware processors configurable to model a network physical layer and communication channels. The hardware processors include an opcode processing unit. The hardware processors further include a programmable state machine coupled to the opcode processing unit. The programmable state machine is configured to be programmed by the opcode processing unit using a low-level hardware programming language comprising opcodes having waveform processing specific semantics so as to configure the state machine for specific waveforms or specific network physical layer characteristics.
