IP Reuse Impact on Design Verification Management Across the EnterpriseDVClub
The document discusses challenges with IP reuse dependency management across hardware design projects. It notes that verification reuse is often neglected and that finding and fixing issues on complex projects can be difficult without proper dependency tracing of IP instances, designs, and versions. The presentation recommends establishing processes and checklists for IP verification and design history tracking to facilitate reuse. It also shares survey results about the organizational impacts of improved IP reuse dependency management, such as more efficient engineering resource usage and 30% faster time to market.
The document describes Cisco's Base Environment methodology for digital verification. It aims to standardize the verification process, promote reuse, and improve predictability. The methodology defines a common testbench topology and infrastructure that is vertically scalable from unit to system level and horizontally scalable across projects. It provides templates, scripts, verification IP and documentation to help teams set up verification environments quickly and leverage existing best practices. The standardized approach facilitates extensive code and test reuse and delivers benefits such as faster ramp-up times, improved planning, and higher return on verification IP development.
Intel Xeon Pre-Silicon Validation: Introduction and ChallengesDVClub
This document discusses the challenges of pre-silicon validation for Intel Xeon processors. Some key challenges include: reusing design components from previous projects which may have incomplete or poorly written code; managing cross-site validation teams; developing sufficient stimulus and checking while minimizing overhead; achieving high functional coverage within tight validation windows; and ensuring tests can be ported between pre-silicon and post-silicon environments. The validation process aims to quickly comprehend new features and design changes while validating the full chip design before tapeout.
The document discusses how shaders are created and validated for graphics processing units (GPUs). Shaders are created by applications and sent to the GPU through graphics APIs and drivers. They are then executed by the GPU's shader processors. The validation process uses layered testbenches at the sub-block, block, and system levels for maximum controllability and observability. It also employs a reference model methodology using C++ models and hardware emulation to debug designs faster than simulation alone. This methodology helps improve the graphics development schedule.
This document appears to be a presentation given by AMD on verification challenges for graphics ASICs. The presentation covers an overview of AMD, GPU systems, 3D graphics basics, and verification challenges. It discusses the size and complexity of GPUs, layered code and testbenches used for verification, and the use of hardware emulation and functional coverage.
1. The document discusses methodologies for hardware verification and developing an efficient verification flow.
2. It recommends defining a conceptual framework for the flow to standardize some aspects while allowing for diversity and innovation.
3. Using transaction level modeling and assertions in early stages like the specification model can help validation before the RTL design stage. Assertions can be written at different levels from the specification to the RTL and testbench.
Praveen Vishakantaiah, President of Intel India, discussed the challenges of validating next generation CPUs. Validation is increasingly complex due to factors like rising design complexity from multi-core processors and chipset integration, as well as shorter time to market windows. Validation efforts are also not scaling incrementally with post-silicon development. Addressing these challenges requires experienced architects and validators working closely together, instrumentation of design models to enable validation, reuse of validation tools, and scaling of emulation and formal verification techniques. Validation is critical to meeting customer satisfaction and business goals around schedule and costs.
This document discusses using the IP-XACT standard to address challenges in verification automation. 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.

1
2. Verification Metrics: Why do we care?
Predicting functional closure of a design is hard
Design verification is typically the critical path
CPU design projects rarely complete on schedule
Cost of failure to predict design closure is significant
2
3. Two key types of metrics
Verification test plan based metrics
Amount of direct tests completed
Amount of random testing completed
Number of assertions written
Amount of functional coverage written and hit
Verification reviews completed
Health of the design metrics
Simulation passing rates
Bug rate
Code stability
Design reviews completed
3
4. Challenges and limitations
Limitations of test plan based metrics
Will give a best case answer for completion date
The plan will grow as testing continues
Limitations of health of the design based metrics
Can give false impressions if used independent from test plan metrics
Requires good historical data on similar project for proper interpretation
General concerns to be aware of for all metrics
What you measure will affect what you do
Gathering metrics is not free
Historical data can be misleading
Don’t be a slave to the metrics:
they are a great tool, but not the complete answer

1. More so than other areas of processor design, visibility of completion is still fairly low at the end of the project. Dreaded “when will we find the last bug” question. 2. Verification complexity increases non-linearly with design complexity 3. empirical evidence shows that projects are almost always delayed. Best case they hit the externally published schedule, but usually this is the 2 nd or 3 rd internal schedule… 4. Conservative estimates means lost design win opportunities, Optimistic estimates means slipped schedules or buggy silicon
1. Verification metrics are what is controlled by the DV team, health of the design is somewhat out of the control of the DV team 2. All metrics can be applied to full chip, or unit level of the design
Test plan only covers what you know to do, not what do don’t know yet you need to do Test plan is non-exhaustive and when you find bugs in the design, new corner cases are exposed. This will happen all the way to the end of the project (historical data can help) Health of the design can look better or worse than what it really is based on what is currently happening on the testing side Most health of the design metrics are trailing indicators, so you really need good historical data on similar projects to make full use of them Need to be careful to avoid meeting the letter of the law but not the intent: For example, if you have hard metrics on cycles run per week or tests written per week, test/cycle quality might go down. Need to think up front about how you want to use metrics to make sure you track the right things and also need to account for the time to build the infrastructure required to do it Historical data is very useful, but every project is different, and generally speaking future projects are more complex than previous ones, so needs to be taken with a grain of salt Metrics won’t replace subjective gut feel from experience. If gut feel is that the design is not ready for tapeout, then it probably isn’t. Need to take metric results with a grain of salt. This applies to the final ‘when we done’ as well as determing critical priorities throughout the project
Total bug graph fairly linear with one pronounced knee at about the 75% point Bugs per week pretty sporadic until it drops off at knee This is 4 week rolling average…results are even more sporadic if raw count is used
Breakdown by unit can be useful to indicate early stablilty of certain units (or point to deficit testing) Relative number of bugs found per area is roughly consistent with expectations based on complexity of each unit SIMD unit was an early focus and got stable before the rest of the design
Getting up to low 90% happens pretty quickly and most of the time is spent on closing the final 5% of the points Expect to have a few dips along the way as new coverage that wasn’t originally planned is added to the design May improve tracking in the future…breakout crosses vs. single points, add some way to indicate priority of points
