Productivity, Predictability And Use-Model Versatility


Hardware-assisted verification and prototyping has become a mandatory requirement to allow design teams to gain confidence that a chip tape out can be initiated. The choice of the right hardware-accelerated engine is driven by its productivity, predictability, and use-model versatility, all impacting the key concern of users how to remove bugs. The XP Platform allows design teams to get to the ... » read more

How Much Verification Can One Engineer Handle?


By Frank Schirrmeister When reviewing the agenda of our upcoming Verification Summit here in San Jose this Thursday, the question came to mind of who can actually execute the required complex verification tasks. Can they understand enough detail in hardware, software, and the system aspects to efficiently rid the design of bugs? The reality is that the task requires not one engineer who can do... » read more

Blog Review: Sept. 11


By Ed Sperling Synopsys’ Eric Huang has unearthed the weirdest USB video ever produced—a dancing USB lighter. The messaging is pretty bizarre, too. Cadence’s Brian Fuller takes a whirlwind tour of the engineering accomplishments for the week. Check out the T-shirt message. Clearly they’re not talking about semiconductor engineers. Mentor’s Colin Walls looks at the Lua scripting... » read more

Why Does That App Make My Phone Hot?


By Adam Sherer Popular Mechanics examined this topic in 2011, focusing mostly on packaging and other physical conditions. “Poor signal, intense workload and battery charging” were quoted, but the verification engineer knows the part of that list that was glossed over—intense workload. The author of that article waved away that aspect, saying the operating system usually can handle the so... » read more
