Comparing And Spotting The Difference Between Two Simulations


Comparing is a basic skill we all use in our daily lives in order to understand reality and analyze situations. When it comes to chip verification, the fundamental task of checking also involves comparing because checking is always "checking vs. something" — the ASIC specification and/or a model. In practice, when we encounter a failing test, oftentimes we have a comparable passing tes... » read more

Capturing Bugs Visually


This paper presents a new way to comprehend complex scenarios, in order to significantly accelerate bug detection and resolution. By defining a new visual language, which creates interaction vertices between the simulation scenarios and the code structure on a single matrix, we offer a novel way to compare multiple cycles. It enables verification engineers to reach solid conclusions regarding a... » read more
