The industry tends to incorporate Power Architecture either in conjunction with or in sequence to functional verification using different languages, many times with different team members using different tools, and divergent approaches leading to potential errors, almost a fourth dimension to our strategy leveraging the test bench architecture.
The Design team seems to be following a parallel path (even if in pipeline mode there is a time gap) with respect to the Methodologies based test bench and Power Architecture, including Unified Power Formats (UPF). Both are fundamental to IP and ASIC verification requirements, especially in the power-saving mobile world.
It would be more efficient to do Methodologies-based Functional Verification and Coverage interspersed with Low Power Implementation.
UVM brought in Objects Classes for Verification. UPF unified Power Architecture and Strategies. Now Silicon Interfaces has merged OOPS, UVM, and UPF to bring - UPVM.
Why have two sets of engineering for verification and low power? Go green! Low Power helps batteries dissipate slower! Then why waste power with separate Verification and UPF simulation cycles? And burn the midnite oil learning power formats!
With Silicon Interfaces UPVM the Design/Verification Engineer interleaves functional verification and low power in existing methodologies UVM!
Based on these techniques, Silicon Interfaces now has the industry’s first integrated Power Verification deployable service platform with near-zero ramps in timelines. Mrs. Heena Bhatia said, Chief Business Officer at Silicon Interfaces stated that with Silicon Interfaces making the UPVM Libraries as Open Source, we are likely to see more participation and a more robust ecosystem. The merger of Verification and Low Power is a landmark, game-changing feature that will only help in reducing time to market, at the same time save time and budgets, and ease the burden on project leads to train and deploy engineering talent and avoid re-engineering the wheel, added Prof Sastry, Chief Technical at Silicon Interfaces.
