Verifying that a multi-million gate ASIC will function according to its specification prior to being built into a system composed of hundreds or thousands of additional ASICs plus thousands of other ...

“Hardware development relies on simulations, particularly cycle-accurate RTL (Register Transfer Level) simulations, which consume significant time. As single-processor performance grows only slowly, ...

HENDERSON, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aldec, Inc., a pioneer in mixed-HDL language simulation and hardware-assisted verification for ASIC and FPGA designs, has introduced a HES-DVM™ simulation ...

A technical paper titled “Manticore: Hardware-Accelerated RTL Simulation with Static Bulk-Synchronous Parallelism” was published by researchers at EPFL, University of Tokyo, Sharif University, and ...

In Part 1, we reviewed the process of designing a modern hardware emulation platform. Here, we’ll look at the skills and training that are necessary to become a simulation expert and an emulation ...

As total system complexity grows, so does verification complexity. To speed simulation time and improve functional coverage of the RTL ASIC under test, the transactors used for RTL verification must ...

AMD’s Versal adaptive compute acceleration platform (ACAP) is a system-on-chip (SoC) device architecture (see figure 1) includes three groups of engines – scalar, adaptable, and intelligent – plus ...
