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, ...

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 ...

Before a chip design is turned from a hardware design language (HDL) like VHDL or Verilog into physical hardware, testing and validating the design is an essential step. Yet simulating a HDL design is ...

Synopsys has reworked a number of routines in its VCS hardware simulation tool in an attempt to improve performance at both the gate and RTL level to the point where the company reckons it now has the ...

In the Active-HDL Designer Edition, a low-cost mixed-language RTL simulator, designers gain a high-performance simulator for designs targeted at FPGAs. Basically, FPGA designers have been forced to ...

Hardware/software co-design is one of the frontiers of leading-edge system-on-a-chip (SoC) design. Adveda's flagship Miss Univers co-verification product targets this ...
