How emulation’s virtual mode boosts productivity

by

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

Verification Trends from DVCon

by

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

Hardware Emulation Answers AI/ML Verification Needs

by

With AI/ML chip designs containing between 5 billion and 10 billion gates, design verification using hardware emulation is the answer, although not all hardware emulators are the same Artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) is the ultimate hot topic of 2019, taking hold of chip design and the semiconductor industry’s imagination and not letting go — for … Read more

Delving into Deep Learning
