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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
