IP-XACT allows generating verification platforms, register tests, and other elements from a single IP description. It standardizes IP information exchange and reduces duplication. Using IP-XACT, a verification flow is proposed where the testbench, models, and register tests are automatically generated from an IP-XACT file, improving consistency and reducing turnaround times. IP-XACT is now an IEEE standard developed by the SPIRIT consortium to describe IPs in a vendor-neutral way and enable maximum automation.
Validation and Design in a Small Team EnvironmentDVClub
The document discusses validation and design in small teams with limited resources. It proposes constraining designs to a single clock rate, standardized interfaces, and automated test cases to streamline verification. This reduces complexity and verification costs, allowing designs to be completed more quickly despite limited experience. Standardizing interfaces and separating algorithm from implementation verification improves efficiency enough to overcome typical verification to design ratios.
This document discusses trends in mixed signal validation. It begins with an overview of mixed signal systems that contain both analog and digital components. The evolution of mixed signal validation is then described, from early approaches that simulated analog and digital components separately to modern tools that can jointly simulate both domains using languages like Verilog-AMS. The key steps in mixed signal validation are outlined, including modeling components in Verilog-AMS, validating blocks, and performing system-level validation. Throughout, the importance of accurate models for verification is emphasized. Examples of mixed signal modeling and a charge pump PLL validation environment are also provided.
Verification teams at chip design companies now work globally, presenting communication challenges. Time zone differences make real-time collaboration difficult, and documentation through tools like TWiki can suffer if not well-organized. However, global teams also provide benefits by making more people and creative ideas available. Companies like AMD are addressing these issues through centers of expertise that standardize methodologies, tools, and components to facilitate collaboration across sites, while still allowing projects flexibility and innovation. Regular reviews help continuously improve processes as new techniques are adopted or abandoned.
Greg Tierney of Avid presented on their experiences using SystemC for design verification. Some key points:
1) Avid chose SystemC to enhance their existing C++ verification code and take advantage of its built-in verification capabilities like randomization and multi-threading.
2) SystemC helped Avid solve problems like connecting entire HDL modules to their testbench and monitoring foreign signals.
3) While SystemC provided benefits, Avid also encountered issues with its compile/link performance and large library size. Overall, Avid found SystemC reliable for design verification over three years of use.
This document provides an overview of the verification strategy for PCI-Express. It discusses the PCI-Express protocol, including the physical, data link, transaction, and software layers. It outlines the verification paradigm, including functional verification using constrained random testing, assertions, asynchronous/power domain simulations, and performance verification. It also discusses compliance verification through electrical, data link, transaction, and system architecture checklists. Finally, it discusses design for verification through a modular and scalable architecture to promote reusability and reduce verification effort and complexity.
SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) in the Design/Verification ProcessDVClub
1) Visual SVA tools like Zazz allow designers to create complex SystemVerilog assertions through a graphical interface, addressing issues with SVA syntax.
2) Zazz also enables debugging assertions as they are created by generating constrained random tests, improving assertion quality before use in verification.
3) Using assertions improved the author's verification and debugging process, identifying errors sooner and in corner cases, and provided additional value to IP customers through early fault detection.
The document discusses methodologies for improving efficiency in verification testing at Cisco, including using reusable components from other projects, avoiding duplicate specifications, providing flexible testbenches, and automating tasks. It provides examples used at Cisco such as separating testbench creation into three stages, using testflow to synchronize component behavior, reusing unit-level checkers, linking transactions between checkers, and generating common infrastructure from templates to reduce designer effort. The biggest efficiency gains come from methodologies that push shared behavior into reusable components and standardize common elements.
1) Pre-silicon verification is increasingly important for post-silicon validation as design complexity grows and schedules shrink. Bugs that escape pre-silicon verification can significantly impact post-silicon schedules and effort.
2) Mixed-signal effects, power-on/reset sequences, and design-for-testability features need to be verified pre-silicon to avoid difficult to reproduce bugs during post-silicon validation.
3) Case studies demonstrate how low investment in pre-silicon verification of areas like power-on/reset sequences and design-for-testability features can lead to longer post-silicon schedules due to unexpected bugs.
The document discusses Sun Microsystems' UltraSPARC T1 processor. It provides an overview of the processor's features, including its implementation of chip multi-threading with up to 8 cores and 32 threads. It describes the processor's design choices such as shared caches and memory controllers. It also discusses Sun's strategy for verifying the processor's architecture and microarchitecture through directed testing, coverage metrics, and other techniques. Finally, it notes some of the benefits of chip multi-threading for performance, cost, reliability, and power efficiency.
Intel Atom Processor Pre-Silicon Verification ExperienceDVClub
This document discusses the verification methodology and results for the Intel Atom processor. It describes the challenges of verifying a new microarchitecture with power management features on an aggressive schedule. The methodology involved cluster-level validation with functional coverage, architectural validation using an instruction set generator, and power management validation. Verification metrics like coverage and bug rates were tracked. The results included booting Windows and Linux 10 hours after receiving silicon, with few functional bugs found post-silicon that weren't corner cases. Debug and survivability features helped reduce escapes.
This document discusses using assertions in analog mixed-signal (AMS) verification. It describes how assertions can be used to check interface assumptions, power mode transitions, and timing relationships for AMS blocks. Assertions provide compact and precise checks that can be reused across different verification methodologies. The document also provides an example of using Verilog-AMS monitors to digitize continuous signals from an AMS model so they can be checked using SystemVerilog assertions.
This document discusses challenges and requirements for low-power design and verification. It begins with an overview of how leakage is significantly increasing due to process scaling and how active power is now a major portion of power budgets. New strategies are needed to address process variations and enhance scaling approaches. The verification flows must support multi-voltage domain analysis and rule-based checking across voltage states while capturing island ordering and microarchitecture sequence errors. Low-power implementation introduces challenges for design representation, implementation across tools, and verification. Methodologies and design flows must be adapted to account for power and ground nets becoming functional signals.
The document discusses the UVM register model, which provides an object-oriented shadow model for registers and memories in a DUT. It includes components like fields, registers, register files, memory, and blocks. The register model allows verification of register access and provides a standardized way to build reusable verification components.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
