Writing Testbenches Using SystemVerilog

Survey hardware design teams and you’ll find that the old saw is true: anywhere from 60% to 80% of the overall design cycle is consumed not with design itself, but rather with the nerve-wracking ...

Shift-Left Low Power Verification With UPF Information Model

Low power testbenches today have no visibility of the UPF objects and their states during a low power simulation. This has been one of the factors limiting the users from writing re-usable low power ...
