Description
Summary:Position - What is needed today is the ability to manage the various verification processes in an intelligent fashion, which requires: Partition the system-level verification problem info a targeted optimal lower-level solution Manage the bookkeeping and interaction between the partitioned verification blocks Define (and then measure) various metrics that represent some notion of progress or completeness The intelligent testbench merges dynamic, formal, and mixed signal verification with advanced coverage feedback techniques. The benefit of using the intelligent testbench in the verification flow is to reduce many of the manual steps that verification engineers currently perform, particularly those related to partitioning the design info portions ideally targeted for various tools and coverage analysis.
