FireSim
-----------------------
FireSim is an open-source cycle-accurate FPGA-accelerated full-system hardware simulation platform that runs on cloud FPGAs (Amazon EC2 F1).
FireSim allows RTL-level simulation at orders-of-magnitude faster speeds than software RTL simulators. FireSim also provide additional device models to allow full-system simulation, including memory models and network models.

FireSim currently supports running only on Amazon EC2 F1 FPGA-enabled virtual instances on the public cloud. In order to simulate your ReBAR design using FireSim, you should follow the following steps:
Follow the initial EC2 setup instructions as detailed in the FireSim documentatino <link>. Then clone your full ReBAR repository onto your Amazon EC2 FireSim manager instance.
Follow the initial EC2 setup instructions as detailed in the `FireSim documentation <http://docs.fires.im/en/latest/Initial-Setup/index.html>`__ .. Then clone your full ReBAR repository onto your Amazon EC2 FireSim manager instance.

Simulators
=======================
ReBAR provides support and intergration for multiple simulation flows, for various user levels and requirments.
In the majority of cases during a digital design development process, simple software RTL. When more advanced full-system evaluation is required, with long running workloads, FPGA-accelerated simulation will then become a preferable solution. The following pages provide detailed information about the simulation possibilities within the ReBAR framework.
