HSI is a critical capability that now has the full attention of the Accellera PSWG and whose absence results in extra work for companies that want to adopt Portable Stimulus tools without some form of ...

In today’s semiconductor landscape, scale is becoming a bigger battleground—not only for chipmakers, but increasingly for hyperscalers, cloud giants, and other systems companies, too. They're all ...

High service availability is an essential requirement of today's carrier-grade communication systems that must provide uninterrupted service for their users. Traditional high-availability systems have ...

The concurrent design and verification of hardware and software has become a reality thanks to a plethora of resources in ESL flows, emulation, modeling and standards, and more. There once was a time ...

Designing hardware and software simultaneously is a key factor in reducing time-to-market. Although some vendors are talking about tools to facilitate the task, we still have a long way to go before ...

Magillem Registers is a comprehensive register design and management technology that accurately automates the hardware/software interface (HSI) to quickly develop chips and chiplets ranging from IoT ...

From the earliest days of my career, when designing chips, I have always navigated the interface between hardware and software for semiconductor design in my roles. My initial chip designs included ...

A hardware interface specifies the plugs, sockets, cables and electrical signals that pass through each line between the CPU and a peripheral device or communications network. It also stipulates which ...

Having SoC for HDTV under verification, verifying different components of SoC at block level are so far satisfactorily done using simulation. Now having full chip level environment and run-ning ...

Here on Hackaday, we’re generally designers of hacks that live in the real world. Nevertheless, I’m convinced that some of the most interesting feats are at the mercy of what’s possible in software, ...

Solution Integration: Integration of acquired silicon-proven Magillem 5 and Semifore CSRCompiler products into a next-generation ‘single source of truth’ software product for register management and ...
