A behind-the-scenes tour of Nvidia's emulation labs showing how GPUs are emulated on hardware before manufacturing.
How Nvidia GPUs Emulated, like the new Pascal based Tesla P100, & plugged into real PC’s! - Blunty gets behind the scenes at Nvidia’s Silicon Valley campus, and tours the Emulation Labs where Nvidia GPU designs are “faked” before they’re ready to become real world silicon :) Thanks to Nvidia for sending me to GTC gputechconf.com/ Join the Nvidia ANZ Forums; anz.forums.geforce.com/index.phpWhy it's here

On “FPGA synthesis emulation?”
Virtuoso is dedicated to analog IC design and simulation, this is peanuts compared to emulation system.
Emulation system is a godamn big server with overkill compute power for integrated circuit emulation. Cadence sells them, the one I have in mind is the Palladium. A while back Nvidia posted a video showing the emulation of the GPU but I can't find it.
\EDIT\: I found the video Emulation of Nvidia GPUs
