According to industry pundits, FPGAs take forever to compile and have internal timing problems. ASICs, on the other hand, are power-hungry and require longer development time. When it comes to ...

Best-in-Class organizations are three times more likely to leverage solutions for network simulation and emulation than Laggards, according to data from Aberdeen Group’s February benchmark report, ...

Chip designs today have more functionality, more black-boxed intellectual property (IP) and shorter tape-out schedules. However, they require even more design verification than in the past, which ...

This paper introduces an acceleration-ready UVM framework and explains why it is needed, how to create it, and what its benefits are. By following the principles presented here, users will be able to ...

In regard to network testing, the terms emulation and simulation are often used interchangeably. In most cases, either term will generally get the point across, but there’s a big difference between a ...

This paper describes the process and tools used in the verification of a family of Secure Digital (SD) IP cores. The verification process described included SystemC verification, RTL simulation and ...

I recently attended an invited talk by a senior manager of a design group within a large networking company. He described the group’s verification flow and it quickly became obvious that hardware ...
