Coverage has become a key technology in the pursuit of efficient and accurate verification of large designs. Obviously, simulation is still the cornerstone of verification, but the time when a single ...

Ensuring the reliability and performance of complex digital systems has two fundamental aspects: functional verification and digital design. Digital Design predominantly focuses on the architecture of ...

When developers and engineers measure code coverage in embedded systems they can improve their device’s safety and performance. Embedded systems play a foundational ...

The huge undertaking of verifying a system-on-chip (SoC) design has challenged engineers for more than 20 years –– the amount of time spent on it hasn’t varied much from between 50-70% of the entire ...

There is a difference in semantics between code coverage generated from a simulator engine and code coverage generated from a formal engine. This paper seeks to raise the awareness of verification ...

For years the process of ASIC and FPGA design and verification debug consisted primarily of comprehending the structure and source code of the design with waveforms showing activity over time, based ...
