Pattern-based design/technology co-optimization (DTCO) estimates lithographic difficulty during the early stages of a new process technology node.

This introduction to the new Accellera standard includes a demo of portable stimulus in use to fully verify a DMA engine.

Doc Formal begins a two-part series by describing the solid and well-established foundations of formal verification.

Accellera's Portable Stimulus standard aims to improve verification efficiency and the reuse of test IP across the entire design life cycle.

Techniques previously unavailable during ICE or testbench acceleration can now greatly speed emulation debug in those modes.

How staging virtual prototype bring-up can accelerate the development of embedded software in complex systems.

Our new columnist introduces himself and traces the progress of formal verification over the last two decades. Join the discussion.

This second part looks at Mentor's views on flow neutrality, how DRS360 was born, machine learning and the threat from embedded Trojans.

Our extended fireside chat with Mentor Chairman and CEO Wally Rhines begins by canvassing his thoughts now the Siemens deal is done.

Unreachability analysis can help find design code that can never be executed, helping verification engineers refine their coverage goals.
