You mean that it's an asynchronous design? Achronix makes FPGAs that can simulate that (they are spendy, but way less than actually fabbing a chip)

Edit: s/dabbing/fabbing/ lol

No, it's not asynchronous.

Then you're fine using commodity FPGAs, if it were me, id buy the biggest FPGAs altera currently makes, or just use their software simulator (it's great!)
