Conclusion: Impact of Design Size on First Silicon Success

Resource (Verification Horizons Blog) - Aug 22, 2015 Harry Foster

This blog is a continuation of a series of blogs related to the 2014 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study ( click here ). In my previous blog , I present verification results findings in terms of schedules, number of required spins, and classification of functional bugs. In this blog, I conclude the series on the 2014 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study by providing a deeper analysis of respins by design size.
Part 12: IC/ASIC Verification Results Trends

Resource (Verification Horizons Blog) - Aug 17, 2015 Harry Foster

This blog is a continuation of a series of blogs related to the 2014 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study ( click here ). In my previous blog , I provided data that suggest a significant amount of effort is being applied to functional verification. An important question the various studies have tried to answer is whether this increasing effort is paying off.
Part 11: IC/ASIC Power Management Trends

Resource (Verification Horizons Blog) - Aug 10, 2015 Harry Foster

This blog is a continuation of a series of blogs related to the 2014 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study ( click here ). In my previous blog , I presented our study findings on various verification language and library adoption trends. In this blog, I focus on power trends. Today, we see that about 73 percent of design projects actively manage power with a wide variety of techniques, ranging from simple clock-gating, to complex hypervisor/OS-controlled power management schemes.

Part 10: IC/ASIC Language and Library Adoption Trends

Resource (Verification Horizons Blog) - Jul 27, 2015 Harry Foster

This blog is a continuation of a series of blogs related to the 2014 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study ( click here ). In my previous blog , I presented our study findings on various verification technology adoption trends. In this blog, I focus on language and library adoption trends. As previously noted, the reason some of the results sum to more than 100 percent is that some projects are using multiple languages; thus, individual projects can have multiple answers.
