Abstract
A method of estimating performance of a design can include selecting a segment of the design for hardware emulation within an emulation system implemented within an integrated circuit. The emulation system can include a generic accelerator coupled to a processor of the integrated circuit. The method further can include modifying the design, using a processor of a host system, to invoke the generic accelerator in lieu of executing the selected segment within the processor of the emulation system during emulation.
