While the disciplines of functional verification and test serve different purposes, their histories were once closely intertwined. Recent safety and security monitoring requirements coupled with ...

Today’s complexity of embedded systems is steadily increasing. The growing number of components in a system and the increased communication and synchronization of all components requires reliable ...

Embedded memories are an indispensable part of any deep submicron System on a Chip (SoC). The requirement arises not only to validate the digital logic against manufacturing defects but also do robust ...

Functional verification can cost as much as design, but new capabilities are piling onto an already stressed verification methodology, leaving solutions fragmented and incomplete. In a perfect world, ...

The productivity promise of portable stimulus has rapidly become well known in our industry. The high level of interest exhibited in the Accellera Portable Test and Stimulus Standard (PSS) makes sense ...

The growing complexity of ASIC/FPGA designs in recent era has caused simulation times to increase drastically. This is because there is a growing need to ensure that the simulation matches the ...

Reddit is now testing a verification program on its platform. This is a similar verification program that most social media platforms already have, particularly for those who do not require ...
