Functional verification is computationally and data-intensive by nature, making it a natural target of machine learning applications. This paper provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of FV ...

While the disciplines of functional verification and test serve different purposes, their histories were once closely intertwined. Recent safety and security monitoring requirements coupled with ...

To test complex devices, test engineers must rely on the vector sets generated by verification engineers. Unfortunately, verification engineers—who work in a software simulation environment—often have ...

The huge undertaking of verifying a system-on-chip (SoC) design has challenged engineers for more than 20 years –– the amount of time spent on it hasn’t varied much from between 50-70% of the entire ...

While a working device that meets all functional specifications is a chip design project group’s No. 1 goal, many designers wake up covered in sweat worrying about a dead-on-arrival chip. No matter ...
