Sure.
I worked with quickturn emulators a while back.
These are either arrays of FPGA's with software to spread
out the design, or arrays of dedicated special tiny CPUs.
They are there to simulate a big design fast.
(close to real time)
Here, the simulator running the testbench is the bottleneck.
Using a synthesizeable testbench, together with RAM is one solution.
Its perhaps possible to argue an IC tester is another example.
