Transaction level modeling (TLM) is gaining favor over register-transfer level (RTL) for design components because of its many advantages—including faster design and verification times, easier ...
From my product development experiences, entering into Design Verification and Design Validation is always bittersweet. Exciting because yes, to get to Design Verification means that we have ...
When The MathWorks introduced Matlab technical-computing software more than 20 years ago, many of the first users were control-system designers. Anyone who had laboriously inverted matrices by hand to ...
As designs grow in size and complexity, the challenges associated with low power and the growing design and verification gap have created the need for a paradigm shift in the IP design and ...
Verifying design functionality is becoming increasingly difficult. Commonly cited studies claim that up to 70% of the RTL design effort is spent on functional verification, and still over 2/3 of chip ...
Layout vs. schematic (LVS) circuit verification is an essential stage in the integrated circuit (IC) design verification cycle. However, given today’s large design sizes, numerous hierarchies, and ...
It’s time to put to rest 11 of the most common myths about verification intellectual property (VIP). SmartDV’s Bipul Talukdar, Director of Applications Engineering, explains why it’s used in a ...
Why hardware-assisted verification systems are vital to designing next-gen hardware. The differences between hardware emulation and FPGA-based prototyping systems. How the demands of data-center CPUs ...
