July 23, 2009[Design View / Design Solution] Formal Methodology Validates Cache-Coherence Protocol
Bugs in RTL code are problematic, but a bug in an architectural specification can be catastrophic. If the bug remains undetected until post-silicon debugging, the design process essentially starts all over again. Thus, it’s crucial to move the verification process as far forward as possible. With that motivation in mind, engineers at Sun Microsystems recently applied formal verification to an application that commercial tools have not generally...
January 18, 2007[Design View / Design Solution] Gain Abstraction And Accuracy From RTL Power Estimation
Excessive power consumption can destroy a design’s commercial viability. Modern cell phones are permitted to consume no more than a few hundred milliwatts for voice communications. Yet in the past, designers were forced to estimate power consumption using a manual spreadsheet approach with inaccuracies of scores of milliwatts. Worse, the design of an advanced 3G phone with multiple functions—camera, video, audio, and data connectivity—will be especially power-critical....
