From Power Intent to Microarchitectural Checks of Low-Power Designs - Part 1

Article - Mar 01, 2018 by Progyna Khondkar

PA-Static verification is primarily targeted to uncover the power aware structural issues that affects designs physically in architectural and microarchitectural aspects. The structural changes that occur in a PA design are mostly due to physical insertions of special power management and MV cells; such as power switches (PSW), isolation (ISO), level shifter (LS), enable level shifter (ELS), repeaters (RPT), and retentions flops (RFF).
A Hierarchical and Configurable Strategy to Verify RISC-V based SoCs

Article - Mar 01, 2018 by Dr. Mike Bartley

This article outlines a hierarchical and configurable verification strategy for RISC-V based IP and SoCs. A three-level (unit, core and SoC) hierarchy is proposed for testbenches. Each level of the hierarchical testbench is configurable for both architectural and micro-architectural parameters. At the heart of the verification strategy is an ISG (Instruction Stream Generator) and a UVM testbench.
SVA Alternative for Complex Assertions

Article - Mar 01, 2018 by Ben Cohen

This article first explains the concepts, and then by example, how a relatively simple assertion can be written without SVA with the use of SystemVerilog tasks; this provides the basis for understanding the concepts of multithreading and exit of threads upon a condition, such as vacuity or an error in the assertion, providing examples that demonstrate how some of the SVA limitations can be overcome with the use of tasks, but yet maintain the spirit ( but not vendor’s implementations ) of SVA.
