Verification And The IoT
By Ed Sperling - 28 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss what impact the IoT will have on the design cycle, with Christopher Lawless, director of external customer acceleration in [getentity id="22846" e_name="Intel"]'s Software Services Group; David Lacey, design and verification technologist at Hewlett Packard Enterprise; Jim Hogan, managing partner at Vista Ventures; Frank Schirrmeister, senior group d... » read more

The Week In Review: Design
By Jesse Allen - 02 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

Tools OneSpin revealed new formal applications focused on random fault verification for safety critical analysis in automotive and other mission-critical applications. The Fault Injection App provides controlled injection of faults and assertion mapping to associated fault scenarios, as well as visibility into corrupted design behavior. The Fault Detection App allows the detection of dangerous... » read more

Emulation Enabling Automotive Designs
By Frank Schirrmeister - 25 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

Last week at CDNLive in Munich, the key topic at hand was automotive. It was pretty much a theme everywhere, and even had its specific personal track. My personal favorites were Davide Santo’s (NXP’s Architect) keynote on autonomous driving—very inspiring—and Robert Bosch’s overview of how they used emulation in a hybrid setup with ARM Fast Models for IP verification for automotive de... » read more

It’s Show Time

It’s been a busy season. The weather has warmed here in the desert and as the trees and greenery enliven in spring, The whole industry is bursting with activity. From DVCon to the International Symposium on FPGAs in the United States to Embedded World and CTIC in Europe, there have been a number of important developments in verification, embedded systems, and DO-254. The DVCon U.S. Confere... » read more

Verification Unification
By Brian Bailey - 25 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

There is a lot of excitement about the emerging [getentity id="22028" e_name="Accellera"] [getentity id="22863" e_name="Portable Stimulus”] (PS) standard. Most of the conversation has been about its role in [getkc id="11" kc_name="simulation"] and [getkc id="30" kc_name="emulation"] contexts, and in the need to bring portability and composability into the verification flow. Those alone are st... » read more

Maintaining Power Profiles At 10/7nm
By Ann Mutschler - 17 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

Understanding power consumption in detail is now a must-have of electronic design at 10nm and below, putting more pressure on SoC verification to ensure a device not only works, but meets the power budget. As part of this, the complete system must be run in a realistic manner — at the system-level — when the design and verification teams are looking at the effects of power during hardwar... » read more

Avoiding A $7.7B Chip Design Cost
By Frank Schirrmeister - 27 Apr, 2017 - Comments: 0

For years, the story about semiconductor development cost and about EDA contributions has been pretty simple. Cost has been, is, and will likely be for a while, the single biggest issue in scaling development for more complex designs. The next big leap for verification productivity will be the close integration of verification and design engines, both vertically and horizontally as I have writt... » read more

Virtual PCIe Delivers A “Shift Left” In Software-Defined Networking Emulation
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 12 Apr, 2017 - Comments: 0

This paper reviews both SW and UVM Vector Based Verification (VBV) methodologies and Advanced Vector Based Verification (AVBV) that uses Software Defined Networking (SDN) HW to service PCIe transactions to the DUT. When deploying VBV methodologies, using the Veloce Transactor Library (VTL) family of components is most appropriate for UVM, C++ and SDK testbench methodologies. We explore how V... » read more

What Is Portable Stimulus?
By Brian Bailey - 23 Mar, 2017 - Comments: 0

When [getentity id="22028" e_name="Accellera"] first formed the [getentity id="22863" comment="Portable Stimulus Working Group”] and gave it that name, I was highly concerned. I expressed my frustration that the name, while fitting with what most people thought [getkc id="10" kc_name="verification"] is about, does not reflect the true nature of the standard being worked on. In short, it is no... » read more
