Hardware for integer or fixed-point arithmetic is relatively simple to design, at least at the register-transfer level. If the range of values and precision that can be represented with these formats ...

Verification is the single biggest challenge in the design of system-on-chip (SoC) devices and reusable IP blocks. Traditional verification methods struggle to keep pace with the ever-increasing size ...

The larger and more complex that system-on-chip (SoC) designs grow, the more verification dominates the development process. In fact, effective design reuse puts even more pressure on the verification ...

SystemVerilog is the natural evolution of the Verilog language, extending its capabilities for both design and verification. Demand for this advanced language is clear. Over a dozen EDA companies ...

Hinging on a new hybrid formal register-transfer-level (RTL) verification product, a design-for-verification (DFV) methodology from Synopsys leverages SystemVerilog's capabilities to integrate ...

The key rule for chip design and verification is that bugs must be found and fixed as early in the development process as possible. It is often said that catching a bug at each successive project ...

[Mark] starts a post from a bit ago with: “… maybe you have also heard that SystemVerilog is simply an extension of Verilog, focused on testing and verification.” This is both true and false, ...
