The document discusses the importance of gate-level simulation (GLS) in functional verification during hardware design, highlighting its growing trend in SOC verification alongside RTL simulation. It explains that GLS operates on netlist views post-synthesis, allowing for detailed design testing, including initialization verification and asynchronous path checks. Additionally, it emphasizes the ease of identifying and fixing design glitches with GLS, particularly in the context of a gate level survey in the UAE.

1. Gate Level Simulation Is
Increasing Trend

2. In general, simulations play a crucial role in functional verification in the
process of hardware designing. The mechanism can be performed at
different physical abstractions such as Transistor level, Gate level and
Register transfer level. Usually, the RTL simulation alone is sufficient sign-
off criteria for IP development.
However, in the case of SOC, it is necessary to use RTL and Gate Level
Simulation for Verification Sign-Off. Currently, Gate Level has become a
trending simulation. Thus, going for a gate-level survey in UAE is
beneficial and identifies every detail. Therefore, you can implement any
design confidently. It is still confusing about why use GLS; look at the
following.

3. The definition of "gate level" is
that netlist view of a circuit. In
general, it will generate via logic
synthesis. In such a case, RTL
simulation is pre-synthesis
means GLS is post-synthesis. The
netlist view refers to the
complete connection list that
includes gates and IP models
with fully functional and timing
behavior.
What Is GLS?

4. When it comes to RTL simulation, it has a zero delay
environment. Importantly, events will arrive on the
active clock edge. However, the GLS also has zero
delays, and it can also frequently have used in unit
delay or full timing mode. At the same time, the events
can be activated by the clock, and they will spread
based on the delays on the elements.
On the occasion of loading and wiring delay models of
the netlist, it can be easily determined by using the
synthesis tools. Even one can evaluate it by checking
the output from the layout tools. It will come in SDF
(standard delay format) file.

5. Why should prefer the GLS method?
Undoubtedly, GLS is an essential simulation
method. However, one must know how
running GLS is necessary right.

6. 1. Reset/Initialization
verification
Yes, GLS can be used in Reset Sequence /Power
Up and System Initialization testing; thus, it will
verify the design's unintentional dependencies
at the initial stage. Significantly, GLS can modify
the whole structure as well.

7. Venus has a beautiful name and is the second
planet from the Sun. It’s terribly hot—even hotter
than Mercury—and its atmosphere is poisonous
2. X optimization in RTL

8. Asynchronous
verification
No matter what, GLS alone checks
asynchronous path functionality. Along with it
will assure that the constraints are perfect as
well. Notably, it will test the newly added
structures in the Netlist even while checking
the working process of Netlist. With the help
of a Gate Level Computation in Dubai
identifying and fixing glitches in the design is
also relatively easy. Therefore, GTS is
necessary for all methods.
