If chip design had a face, it would have a wrinkle or two, an especially deep one caused by the increasingly complex challenge of hardware and software verification. Until recently, these two elements ...

Computational models and simulations have had an important role in engineering analysis since as far back as the 1960s. It is widely recognized that the use of modeling and simulation tools can make ...

Verification and validation are two important steps in the creations of electronic systems and over time their roles, but how they play together is changing. In fact, today we are seeing a major ...

Verification expert Dr. Lauro Rizzatti debunks the myths surrounding the two tool classes of HAV platforms—hardware emulators and FPGA prototypes. What are hardware emulators and FPGA prototypes? Who ...

Validation ensures that a part will operate correctly in end-user applications. Design validation is the task of testing a part or a system adequately to ensure that all parts or systems manufactured ...
