Verdi Transaction Debug Platform: A Simplified Way To Debug IIP Designs And SoC
By Synopsys - 18 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

Authors: Abhishek Upadhyay, R&D Engineer, Synopsys, and Kanak Rajput, Application Engineer, Synopsys Design problems that appear in the late phases of the development cycle can be extremely difficult to track down and debug, thus putting project schedules at risk. It’s not uncommon for an engineer to run the verification test on what appears to be the main design problem, only to find the ... » read more

A UFS Verification Closure Flow Using The Synopsys Verification Continuum Platform
By Synopsys - 11 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

It's a longstanding cliche, but it is true that “there is no silver bullet for functional verification.” No single tool or methodology can find and shoot down all the bugs in a large, complex semiconductor design. Simulation is well understood but can be slow for today's large SoCs. Emulation hardware is fast, but expensive enough that it is usually shared across a verification team. Formal... » read more
