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 ...

The time-proven methodology of writing directed tests to meet coverage goals is no longer a viable methodology because the verification task has grown exponentially. Additionally, the increasing ...

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 ...

Functional verification of large SoC/ASIC designs has always been a catch-22 situation. How does the verification engineer decide that enough simulations have been run on a functional block or full ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the history of functional verification for complex chips, increasing automation has replaced tedious and expensive ...
