FPGA Design Verification (Planning) in a Nutshell Before wading into this topic, I’d like to state why I felt compelled to write about FPGA design verification. I recently presented a very well attended three-part webinar series, during which many attendees asked for book recommendations....

The verification process is long and time consuming, especially when you are not sure what you are looking for. There are a lots of directions you can go looking for bugs but without a guide, without a plan you will most likely be going in circles....

The High-Frequency Trading (HFT) industry has received a lot of attention during the last few years. HFT is all about speed and minimizing latency: the faster you can run trading strategies and algorithms for analyzing minute price changes...

In this blog, I will discuss randomized layered testbenches used in SystemVerilog. We need to understand why we need it, ...

In this blog, I am going to discuss different phases that UVM follows. The reason why UVM came up with such phases is because synchronization among all design-testbench was necessary. Using Verilog and VHDL,...

In this blog, my major focus is on explaining the concepts such as Sequence, Sequencer, Driver and showing how the communication takes place from sequence to sequencer and from sequencer to driver. In the previous blog, I included...

For a long time I have been a fan of code coverage tools that are embedded into the simulators themselves, and which give you the ability to switch easily between the code and the coverage results. It is particularly helpful to have a way...

We have all been witnesses to the rapid improvements of the iPhone processor chip every year. With the iPhone 8 featuring the newest A11 Bionic at 10 nm FinFET with 4.3 billion transistors, I can’t personally fathom the amount...

On Thursday, November 19, I’ll be hosting a webinar to demonstrate Aldec’s RTL Verification Solution for VHDL, ALINT-PRO™ Design Rule Checking Solution. ALINT-PRO is Aldec’s design verification solution for RTL code...

Don’t get me wrong, coverage analysis has been used by engineers for years now and it usefulness in improving productivity and verification environment quality can’t be stressed enough....
