Exhaustive functional coverage promises to revolutionize the design of ICs and other digital systems. Exhaustive coverage is now a genuine possibility because the scientific and mathematical ...

CUPERTINO, Calif.----Nov. 8, 1999-- IKOS Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:IKOS), a leading provider of design verification solutions, today announced its newest fast functional verification product, the ARES(TM) ...

This paper discusses the functional verification of IP cores and problems which arise during their implemenation in today’s advanced applications. First, the usual approach to functional ...

This article formalizes the concept of best possible verification quality — completeness — and describes a methodology, field-proven on many complex module and intellectual property (IP) designs, that ...

System-on-a-chip (SoC) functional verification involves integrating multiple intellectual property (IP) blocks. Accordingly, understanding how to define, measure, correlate, and analyze appropriate IP ...

While the disciplines of functional verification and test serve different purposes, their histories were once closely intertwined. Recent safety and security monitoring requirements coupled with ...

The e functional verification language is an application-specific programming language, aimed at automating the task of verifying a hardware or software design with respect to its specification.

FPGA engineers are all doing functional verification using manual processes but growing system comlexity is the issue. Changing tools and methodologies may seem daunting, but there is a way to break ...

With the addition of a standard assertion-language link, the 360 Module Verifier (360 MV), a functional verification environment, is equipped to fully leverage both SystemVerilog assertions and Open ...
