ROLLBACK FOR COMMUNICATION LINK ERROR RECOVERY IN EMULATION

Each of a plurality of reconfigurable hardware modeling circuits in a reconfigurable hardware modeling device comprises: a plurality of communication ports; error monitoring circuitry configured to monitor, while the reconfigurable hardware modeling device is performing an operation for verifying a circuit design, whether data received from the plurality of communication ports contain an error or not, and send out an error signal indicating the monitoring result; and rollback circuitry configured to, if data received by any of the plurality of reconfigurable hardware modeling circuits contain an error, enable the reconfigurable hardware modeling circuit to repeat the operation from a state before the error is received, and if data received by the plurality of reconfigurable hardware modeling circuits contain no error, allow the reconfigurable hardware modeling circuit to continue the operation.
