New chip development cycles have decreased to a year, and the time to create a derivative has shrunk to six months. How can chip verification, which takes up 50 to 70 percent of today's development ...

Constrained-random verification (CRV) offers a highly effective way to deal with the challenges of microprocessor verification. These verification challenges are overwhelming for many reasons: complex ...

Functional verification of large SoC/ASIC designs has always been a catch-22 situation. How does the verification engineer decide that enough simulations have been run on a functional block or full ...
