Lauro Rizzatti Verification Horizons INTRODUCTION There is no doubt that computers have changed our lives forever. Still, as much as computers outperform humans at complex tasks such as solving complex mathematical equations in almost zero time, they may underperform when solving what humans can do easily — image identification, for instance. Anyone in the world can identify … Read more
EEWeb Thomas Delaye, director of technical marketing in the Emulation Division at Mentor, a Siemens Business, recently studied how data could be used more effectively in chip design verification tools, such as hardware emulation. A big challenge, he discovered, because hardware emulation has a data problem, notably the large amount it generates. What follows is … Read more
GSA Posted Tuesday, November 12, 2019 By Lauro Rizzatti, Verification Expert Hardware emulation is a strategically essential ingredient of a verification flow used in a broad range of applications. It’s also an expensive line item in a yearly budget because of a variety of factors including acquisition cost and expenses to keep it operational, usable, … Read more
EEWeb Posted Monday, September 30, 2019 By Lauro Rizzatti, Verification Expert When you want to improve or change a dish, the expert explained, you start with a basic, well-known recipe, and proceed to make small changes. For example, you might modify the ratios of ingredients or replace some ingredients with others that you are familiar … Read more

Source: Part One: Tech Design Forum, Part Two: Tech Design Forum By Lauro Rizzatti and Gabriele Pulini | May 01, 2019 Part One Hardware emulation can be deployed in two modes. In-circuit-emulation (ICE): This consists of testing the design-under-test (DUT) with real traffic in a physical environment. Virtual mode: The DUT is here verified via a test … Read more
If DVCon U.S. is a bellwether or leading indicator, the chip design verification market and, more specifically, hardware emulation will be healthy for years to come. DVCon 2018, which took place earlier this year, was the place to be to discover the latest trends in chip design verification, much like it normally is. The who’s … Read more
