HARDWARE SIMULATOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hardware simulator capable of executing output determination of simulation data at high speed without excessively limiting the scale of phenomena capable of being simulated or excessively increasing the device cost. SOLUTION: Substance counters B1-Bm for counting the number of substance are provided for every substance of a simulation object. Random number generators R1-Rn, enzyme counters K1-Kn, throttle circuits V1-Vn, reaction execution circuits H1-Hn, and a connection switching circuit SW increase and decrease the count values of the substance counters B1-Bm according to reaction between substances, and output condition determination parts C1-Cm and an output condition detection network circuit SN determine whether an output condition of simulation data is satisfied or not based on the count values of the substance counters B1-Bm.
