SystemVerilog also provides constructs for design-and-verification engineers to specify functional coverage points—conditions that designers must exercise for complete verification of the design.

SystemVerilog and UVM are said to be the most trusted standards in SoC and IP verification. “Functional coverage is fundamental to all modern processor verification plans; it marks the progress to ...

Functional coverage, stimulus generation, and run management are the three major interrelated tasks of functional verification today. Among these, functional coverage arguably looms as the most ...

Design and verification engineers face the question of how to move from their existing functional verification processes toward a more advanced functional verification methodology that includes ...

Mentor offers two versions of the tool: Questa SystemVerilog for $28,000 (perpetual) and Quasta AFV (Advanced Functional Verification) for $42,000 (perpetual). Questa SystemVerilog simulates ...

Aldec tools offer the advanced randomization and functional coverage capabilities provided by OS-VVM with a simple flip of the VHDL-2008 switch; i.e. no additional licenses are required.

Tech Talk: Better Coverage Code coverage, functional coverage and what can fall through the cracks.

The industry’s first book covering the Open Verification Methodology (OVM), titled “Step-by-Step Functional Verification with SystemVerilog and OVM,” provides a complete reference to ...

To collect the FSM Coverage statistics, the HDL design code has to include SystemVerilog or Aldec proprietary pragmas indicating which constructs represent components of the state machine.

With the addition of a standard assertion-language link, the 360 Module Verifier (360 MV), a functional verification environment, is equipped to fully leverage both SystemVerilog ...
