If functional verification already consumes most of the IC logical design flow, as some studies suggest, what's going to happen as chip complexity reaches 10 million or 100 million gates? The answer ...

Exhaustive functional coverage promises to revolutionize the design of ICs and other digital systems. Exhaustive coverage is now a genuine possibility because the scientific and mathematical ...

System-on-a-chip (SoC) functional verification involves integrating multiple intellectual property (IP) blocks. Accordingly, understanding how to define, measure, correlate, and analyze appropriate IP ...

In the past five years, few topics have received more attention in the trade press than design reuse. As system-on-chip (SoC) devices increase in complexity, resources become more scarce and market ...

Business drivers, such as improved time-to-market and better resource utilization, are factoring ever more into the system-on-chip development process. One widely accepted method to meet those goals ...

This paper presents a comprehensive literature review for applying large language models (LLM) in multiple aspects of functional verification. Despite the promising advancements offered by this new ...

FPGA engineers are all doing functional verification using manual processes but growing system comlexity is the issue. Changing tools and methodologies may seem daunting, but there is a way to break ...

While the disciplines of functional verification and test serve different purposes, their histories were once closely intertwined. Recent safety and security monitoring requirements coupled with ...

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Breker Verification Systems today confirmed its RISC-V functional verification solutions were pivotal for verification of the NOEL-V, one of ...

With the addition of a standard assertion-language link, the 360 Module Verifier (360 MV), a functional verification environment, is equipped to fully leverage both SystemVerilog assertions and Open ...
