Layering protocols are modeled using layering structures that mirror the protocol layers. There are significant challenges in modelling verification components for layering protocols such as (1) reuse ...
More processors on SoCs means more sophisticated cache control. This article describes formal techniques for verifying cache coherency for the ARM AMBA AXI Coherency Extensions (ACE) protocol. Fig 1.
As leading system-on-chip (SoC) designs incorporate multiple complex protocols, verification IP (VIP) has become a critical component of the verification environment, enabling engineers to reach their ...
The need for higher performance applications is driving the requirement for a new age of on-chip communication infrastructure. Increasing the clock frequency no longer addresses this higher ...
Synopsys Discovery VIP speeds and simplifies verification of the most complex system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Synopsys Discovery VIP offers greater performance, debug and coverage management features, ...
Bugs in RTL code are problematic, but a bug in an architectural specification can be catastrophic. If the bug remains undetected until post-silicon debugging, the design process essentially starts all ...
