Automating Root-Cause Analysis To Reduce Time To Find Bugs by Up To 50%
By Cadence - 27 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

If you’re spending more than 50% of your verification effort in debug, you’re not alone. For many design, verification, and embedded software engineers as well as engineers verifying complex standard protocols, debug is the primary bottleneck in verification. Most debug today is completed using the traditional methodology of print statements paired with waveforms. Given that today’s desig... » read more

Blog Review: April 15
By Jesse Allen - 15 Apr, 2015 - Comments: 0

How much memory do you need to look 13 billion years in the past? Rambus' Aharon Etengoff ponders the Square Kilometre Array's massive number of radio telescopes and what it means for computing. NXP's Martin Schoessler argues that for smart cities to work for their citizens, both technology companies and government entities will need a new mind-set. Reinventing the wheel is a good thing i... » read more

Does Fast Simulation Help Debug Productivity?
By Brian Bailey - 09 Apr, 2015 - Comments: 0

It is nice when a reporter manages to get the scoop of the century, and that was the case at a lunch panel hosted by [getentity id="22032" e_name="Cadence"] at the recent Design and Verification Conference (DVCon) in Santa Clara, CA. Brian Bailey, technology editor for Semiconductor Engineer was the moderator for the panel and broke the news to the crowd. Cadence had developed a logic [getkc id... » read more

Debug This!
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 25 Feb, 2015 - Comments: 0

Class-based debug is not the same as debugging RTL. You don’t have to be an object-oriented programmer in order to debug a class-based testbench, which is just a bunch of objects – some statically created, some dynamic – which interact with the DUT. The upshot? Class based debug doesn’t have to be hard! To read more, click here. » read more

Emulation Uses Increase
By Ed Sperling - 12 Feb, 2015 - Comments: 0

For more than two decades, [getkc id="30" comment="emulation"] was a technology in search of a market. While on paper it has always made sense to speed up simulation, using hardware acceleration was so pricey that few companies could justify the cost. Fast-forward to today and emulation is a major contributor to the bottom line at all of the Big Three [getkc id="7" kc_name="EDA"] companies. ... » read more

Applying Lessons Of Mass Production To Verification
By Larry Vivolo - 12 Feb, 2015 - Comments: 0

I’ve recently been experiencing that time-honored tradition of helping an elderly family member as they go through one surgery after another attempting to restore worn-out, miscellaneous body parts. What’s most surprising, beyond the costs, is that shopping for a knee or disc replacement is much like shopping for a car. Do you go for the high-performance knee, which maybe hasn’t been test... » read more

Optimizing Emulator Utilization
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 11 Feb, 2015 - Comments: 0

Russ Klein describes how Codelink, a Mentor Graphics trace-based debug tool, gives software developers a traditional software debug view from a unique processor trace, enabling them to increase emulator utilization and enjoy a more productive debug experience. Codelink allows for software debug earlier in the design cycle, as it makes it possible to use the emulator without having debug circuit... » read more

Building A Better Customized Debug And Trace Solution For Multi-Core SoCs
By Mayank Sharma - 04 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

If you think of debug as solving a murder case through the use of backward reasoning, then trace is the video surveillance that helps pinpoint the culprit. Trace is invaluable as it provides real-time visibility into errors, and dramatically cuts down on design cycles and iterations. A recent study done by Cambridge University found that the global cost of software debugging has risen to the... » read more

Debugging Performance Issues With Qt-based UI Applications
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 03 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

Interactive user interfaces (UI) are fast becoming a basic requirement in many embedded applications and Qt is a popular cross-platform application and framework to help develop such compelling UIs. As with any software application, embedded UI development also requires numerous debugging iterations to achieve the level of desired performance (e.g. non-laggy response etc.) This whitepaper walks... » read more
