Although complemented by other valuable technologies, functional simulation remains at the heart of semiconductor verification. Every chip project still develops a testbench, usually compliant with ...

Before the green light can be given for the launch of Jules Vernes in autumn 2004, another Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) has to first successfully fly the same mission. Next year, prior to the ...

Although this ATV, which has been progressively assembled since late 2002, will never go into space, or dock with ISS, or safely burn up during re-entry. In fact, it will never move from its clean, ...

Design engineers can use AI-driven simulation to overcome bottlenecks and accelerate materials discovery with hybrid workflow approaches.

This paper discusses the functional verification of IP cores and problems which arise during their implemenation in today’s advanced applications. First, the usual approach to functional ...

No single step in the development of semiconductor devices is more sensitive to speed than functional simulation. A modern system-on-chip (SoC) design simulates billions of cycles of operation in the ...

We propose a structured methodology to allow flexible, accurate and fast system modelling at Functional Untimed Application Level. The methodology is built on 4 levels of abstraction, from the IP ...
