Debug consumes more time than any other aspect of the chip design and verification process, and it adds uncertainty and risk to semiconductor development because there are always lingering questions ...

There’s an old saying about simulation: “It’s all about the need for speed.” Simulation is the core technology for functional verification of semiconductors, and the demand for higher runtime ...

For most verification engineers, the day starts with understanding and solving yesterday's regression failures. After a nightly regression run, there are usual and customary steps that are taken.

Conventional debugging technique is usually intrusive to the program execution, at time it may require halting of the program flow. This is risky especially in timing critical application, and it may ...

Many reasons exist why Linux is a good operating system for embedded applications. Besides being open source and cost effective, one of the most important reasons is portability; a Linux application ...
