There is no need to do that unless it's actually programmed at the gate level,
which would be an insane thing to do.

If it's VHDL or Verilog then you can do a behavioral simulation, ignore all
hardware aspects, and the speed would be about that of a crappy interpreter.

It would still massively suck, of course.
