Automating executable specifications as they evolve can deliver major efficiencies.

How the use of declarative, constraint-based descriptions can help you focus command sequences on areas of interest.

How can we refine our approach functional verification to deal with the increasing number of systems that leverage artificial intelligence.

The vision of portable stimulus is to find a way to write tests that can be portable ‘vertically’ from IP block to subsystem to system, and ‘horizontally’ from simulation to emulation to silicon. However, applying portable stimulus to real chip designs is not trivial.

Portable Stimulus allows reuse along horizontal, vertical and technique axes, but you need to be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of each to get the greatest benefits.
