Corporate efficiency consultants love to talk about “the dead moose on the table”—the important topic that everyone knows about but no one wants to bring up. In system-on-chip (SoC) verification, ...

Transaction level modeling (TLM) is gaining favor over register-transfer level (RTL) for design components because of its many advantages—including faster design and verification times, easier ...

Achieving efficiency in integrated circuit (IC) design while maintaining design quality is not just a goal, but a necessity. Designers constantly strive to strike a balance between ever-tightening ...

Layout vs. schematic (LVS) circuit verification is an essential stage in the integrated circuit (IC) design verification cycle. However, given today’s large design sizes, numerous hierarchies, and ...

As digital systems become increasingly complex, traditional simulation-based verification is straining under the weight of exhaustive verification demands. While simulation remains a fundamental tool ...

Why hardware-assisted verification systems are vital to designing next-gen hardware. The differences between hardware emulation and FPGA-based prototyping systems. How the demands of data-center CPUs ...

How formal verification is able to find bugs before signoff. Formal verification’s ability to mathematically prove exhaustively that a chip design meets a set of assertions. Formal techniques are ...
