Artifacts of Custom Checkers in Questa Power Aware Dynamic Simulation
The Questa Power Aware (PA) dynamic simulator (PA-SIM) provides a wide range of automated assertions in the form of dynamic sequence checkers that cover every possible PA dynamic verification scenario. However, design specific PA verification complexities may arise from adoption of one or a multiple of power dissipation reduction techniques, from a multitude of design features — like UPF strategies — as well as from target design implementation objectives.
