Verifying the integration and operation of new IP in a legacy system-on-a-chip (SoC) becomes challenging. This is true particularly when the legacy SoC environment was built using a directed test ...
UVM testbenches for blocks are adequate until the stage of a subsystem with one or more processors. The new generation of constrained-random test cases based on scenario models can take it from there.
As more system-on-chip (SoC) engineers rely on re-use to cut design time and reduce risk, the demand for synthesizable cores and other forms of intellectual property (IP) continues to rise ...
Constrained-random verification (CRV) offers a highly effective way to deal with the challenges of microprocessor verification. These verification challenges are overwhelming for many reasons: complex ...
Avery PCI Express VIP provides a comprehensive verification solution featuring an advanced UVM environment that incorporates constrained random traffic generation, robust TL/DLL/PHY layer ... Fibre ...
New chip development cycles have decreased to a year, and the time to create a derivative has shrunk to six months. How can chip verification, which takes up 50 to 70 percent of today's development ...
As with death and taxes, when it comes to design some things are just inevitable. For one, as design geometries shrink, design complexity will continue to increase. For another, verification is the ...
The semiconductor industry has achieved significant productivity increases by virtue of the development, deployment, and scalability of reusable design IP. The EDA industry has also achieved ...
