Exploring a Software First Approach to Avoid SoC Re-spins

Traditional coverage-based verification methods are no longer sufficient to verify complex SoCs integrating many processor cores and IP subsystems.  To conquer the verification challenge of complex SoCs, companies are shifting their development paradigm to a software first approach.  By considering the target software up front, as a critical part of the SoC development process, designs …

Three Perspectives on the Hardware/Software Interface – Who’s Right?

The hardware/software interface, or HSI is the critical piece of technology that allows software to communicate with the hardware it’s controlling. With all the dedicated processors in most designs today, this is a very important part of the architecture. If it doesn’t work, the product doesn’t ship. If it has a subtle bug, new features …

Python in Verification Online Meetup

At Veriest, we believe in knowledge sharing. In our recent meetup events, hundreds of professionals from 20+ different countries gathered to listen to different industry experts from companies such as Intel, ST Microelectronics, arm, Texas Instruments, Nvidia and more. This time, we'll focus on the polemic topic of using Python in Verification. We'll have two presentations, both …

Early and Accelerated SoC Connectivity Verification using VC Formal Connectivity Checking App

Wednesday, March 9, 2022 | 10-10:45 a.m. PST Complex bus protocols, increased on-chip functionalities, coupled with limited shared I/O resources, result in complex wiring connections in SoCs with numerous muxing schemes. Simulation and structural analysis approaches require huge effort and may lead to bug escapes making them inefficient for SoC connectivity verification. Connectivity verification using …

Balancing Performance and Power in adding AI Accelerators to System-on-Chip (SoC)

• Do you need to estimate the power advantage of implementing an AI algorithm on an accelerator? • Do you need to size the AI accelerator for existing and future AI requirements? • Would it be beneficial if you knew the latency advantage between ARM, RISC, DSP and Accelerator in deploying AI tasks? This webinar …

Important Considerations for Specifying a Main Processor and AI Accelerator

About this talk In specifying the features, functions, and requirements of a main processor and AI accelerator (NPU), system engineers and chip architects often don't consider use cases. In this webinar, Expedera VP of Marketing Paul Karazuba and Andes Technology Director of Field Applications John Min will examine typical use cases system designers face, and …
