Emulation is now the cornerstone of verification for advanced chip designs, but how emulation will evolve to meet future demands involving increasingly dense, complex, and heterogeneous architectures ...

In Part 1, we reviewed the process of designing a modern hardware emulation platform. Here, we’ll look at the skills and training that are necessary to become a simulation expert and an emulation ...

This paper describes the process and tools used in the verification of a family of Secure Digital (SD) IP cores. The verification process described included SystemC verification, RTL simulation and ...

Experts at the table, part 1: What’s driving the changes, who’s using it now and for what, and can emulation become a $1 billion market? Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the changing ...

In this article, we will discuss how to maximize the value from the use of emulation systems on SoC development projects. What has changed in emulation usage models For many years, the principal ...

My [LR’s] first exposure to hardware emulation happened circa 1995 upon visiting a major processor firm in Austin, Texas. Its lab was jam-packed from floor to ceiling with monstrous hardware emulators ...

Mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) devices and their supporting infrastructure are driving the system-on-chip (SoC) design challenge with demanding specifications, increasing software content, and ...
