Effective Elements List and Transitive Natures of UPF Commands

Resource (Paper (.PDF)) - Dec 21, 2018 by Progyna Khondkar

It is evident now that UPF commands-options are inherently transitive in nature through the implicit or explicit – transitive option. With the progression of UPF versions and revisions from UPF 2.0 to 2.1 and onward, the transitive nature becomes more realistic and consistent with all UPF semantics, specifically for UPF strategies, as well as for UPF and DUT objects.
Effective Elements List and Transitive Natures of UPF Commands

Paper - Dec 21, 2018 by Progyna Khondkar

The UPF commands are, in general, transitive in nature. For example, for any given instance included in a power domain, all child instances of that given instance are transitively included in the power domain, unless any child instance is explicitly excluded from this particular power domain or is explicitly included in the definition of another power domain.

FPGA Verification Challenges and Opportunities

Article - Nov 28, 2018 by Harry Foster

There have been multiple studies on IC/ASIC functional verification trends published over the years. 1,2,3,4 However, there are no published studies specifically focused on Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) verification trends.
Building a Better Virtual Sequence with Portable Stimulus

Article - Nov 28, 2018 by Matthew Ballance

When using the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM), sequences are the primary mechanism by which stimulus is generated in the testbench. Sequences come in two flavors: simple sequences for driving a single interface, and virtual sequences that control more complex behavior. Simple sequences tend to work with a single sequence item, while virtual sequences often spawn off multiple sub-sequences to accomplish their intended task.
A New Approach to Low Power Verification: Power Aware Apps

Article - Nov 28, 2018 by Madhur Bhargava - Siemens EDA

The effective verification of low power designs has been a challenge for many years now. The IEEE Std 1801-2015 Unified Power Format (UPF) standard for modeling low power objects and concepts is continuously evolving to address the low power challenges of today’s complex designs.
Simplifying Mixed-Signal Verification

Article - Nov 28, 2018 by

Mixed-signal design is the art of taking real world analog information, such as light, touch, sound, vibration, pressure, or temperature, and bringing it into the digital world for processing.

Part 1: FPGA Design Trends

Resource (Verification Horizons Blog) - Nov 19, 2018 by Harry Foster

This blog is a continuation of a series of blogs related to the 2018 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study ( click here ). The objective of my previous blog was to provide an overview on our large, worldwide industry study. The key findings from this study will be presented in a set of upcoming blogs. In this blog, I present trends related to various aspects of FPGA design to illustrate growing design complexity.
Understanding and Minimizing Study Bias (2018 Study)

Resource (Verification Horizons Blog) - Nov 15, 2018 by Harry Foster

This blog is a continuation of a sequence of blogs that present the highlights from the 2018 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study (for a background on the study, ( click here ). This blog, which discusses the issue of study bias and what we did to address these concerns, is basically a repeat of this topic from my 2014 and 2016 blog series. However, there are a few observations related specifically to our 2018 study worth mentioning.
Prologue: The 2018 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study

Resource (Verification Horizons Blog) - Nov 14, 2018 by Harry Foster

This is the first in a sequence of blogs that presents the findings from our new 2018 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study. Similar to my previous 2016 Wilson Research Group functional verification study blogs, I plan to begin this sequence of blogs with an exclusive focus on FPGA trends.

Introduction to DO-254

Track - Oct 04, 2018 by Byron Brinson

The purpose of this track is to provide engineers or technical leads with basic understanding of DO-254 key concepts. DO-254 has been around for over 15 years and has been applied almost exclusively in the commercial Aerospace industry. Because it has been focused on a subset of the electronic hardware market, many engineers and companies have little to no knowledge of DO-254.
