Adding assertions early and throughout the ASIC design cycle is the best way to independently check that design code reflects the intended behavior as specified in design specifications and the ...
When unit tests fail, they should clearly explain why. Take advantage of the Fluent Assertions library to write unit test methods that are simple, readable, concise, and expressive. Unit testing is an ...
Assertions and assertion IP (AIP) are a core part of the register transfer level (RTL) verification environment for all modern chip development projects. Assertions can be considered as statements of ...
With an eye toward accommodating assertion-based verification flows, Novas Software's latest Verdi debugging platform was extended to support assertion languages and the results of assertion-based ...
System-on-chip design introduces new problems to the design and verification process. Not only must designers deal with the sheer size of these designs, but they must also deal with a reduction in ...
Formal technology is playing an increasing role in the debug process, and some fundamental new directions are being explored to make debug more automated. While much of the design and verification ...
As ASICs continue to grow in size and complexity, traditional verification techniques relying on procedural testbench languages are no longer sufficient. Stimulus generation needs to be further ...
System-on-chip design introduces new problems to the design and verification process. Not only must designers deal with the sheer size of these designs, but they must also deal with a reduction in ...
