Pre-Silicon Verification and Validation Methodology Targeting Robust RISC-V Chip Designs (BSC)


A new technical paper, "Verification and Validation (V&V)-in-the-Loop for RISC-V Design: The Holistic Vision of BZL," was published by researchers at Barcelona Supercomputing Center. Abstract "The Barcelona Zetascale Lab (BZL) project aims to strengthening Europe's capacity in the design and manufacture of RISC-V based high-performance computing chips. In this context, we present a ho... » read more

Power Management Validation


Power consumption is becoming a critical aspect of hardware design. No longer is verifying an SoC solely answering the question “does it work?” Now designers must also answer the question “does it meet my power budget?” When trying to find power issues it is critical to run the complete system in a realistic manner—at the system-level when the design/verification team is looking at th... » read more
