SoC projects are running behind schedule as design and verification complexity has increased dramatically, so just adding more engineers, more tests and more compute aren’t the answer. The time is ripe to consider smarter ways to improve verification efficiency. The added complexity of multiple embedded processors, multiple… Read More

Something new in High Level Synthesis and High Level Verification
As SoC complexities continue to expand to billions of transistors, the quest for higher levels of design automation also rises. This has led to the adoption of High-Level Synthesis (HLS), using design languages such as C++ and SystemC, which is more productive than traditional RTL design entry methods. In the RTL approach there… Read More
Assertions verifying blocks to systems at Broadcom
Speaking from experience, it is very difficult to get an OEM customer to talk about how they actually use standards and vendor products. A new white paper co-authored by Broadcom lends insight into how a variety of technologies combine in a flow from IP block simulation verification with assertions to complete SoC emulation with… Read More
