Moore's Law continues to drive chip complexity and performance to new highs, while stressing and periodically “breaking” existing design flows. Fortunately for consumers of electronic design ...

Agile methodologies, created to improve quality in software code, increasingly are being applied to hardware verification. This is less of a drastic shift than it might first appear. Developing a ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss what’s ahead for verification with Daniel Schostak, Arm fellow and verification architect; Ty Garibay, vice president of hardware engineering at Mythic; ...

Traditional ASIC and IP verification methods cannot adequately exercise the hardware and software components of today's designs. This is due to tool performance limitations, which impose a bottleneck ...

With the cost of design skyrocketing, EDA must hasten its transition from a hardware-centric industry to a software-centric one. Meanwhile, look for virtual platforms and transaction-level modeling to ...

The problem with today's existing methodologies is that verification issubservient to design. This principle requires a shift in paradigm,especially in designing complex electronic systems. Why?
