— Verification remains an integral and crucial phase of today’s microprocessor design and manufacturing process. Unfortunately, with soaring design complexities and decreasing...
Simulation-based validation of the current industrial processors typically use huge number of test programs generated at instruction set architecture (ISA) level. However, archite...
We present a Mutation-based Validation Paradigm (MVP) technology that can handle complete high-level microprocessor implementations and is based on explicit design error modeling, ...
We address the problem of verifying the correctness of pre-silicon models of a microprocessor. We touch on the latest advances in this area by considering two different aspects of...
The challenge of verifying a modern microprocessor design is an overwhelming one: Increasingly complex micro-architectures combined with heavy time-to-market pressure have forced ...
