Tightening the loop on coverage closure

The article describes how methodologies such as graph-based intelligent testbench automation will help engineers efficiently create verification scenarios and stimuli. This is a powerful way of enhancing advanced verification environments and reducing common verification headaches (e.g., reaching coverage goals). Such strategies can help to free up resources, in terms of time, people and hardware, so […]

Streamlining software development for a hardware ecosystem

Software accounts for more than half the development cost for a complex system-on-chip (SoC) platform at the 45nm process node or below. The availability of fundamental software such as compilers, debuggers, operating systems and industry-specific middleware determines the success or failure of a chip design. In simple terms, if there is little or no software […]
