Emulation 104 -- Running More Tests in Less Time

Posted Mar 8, 2010, by Ralph Zak

In an earlier blog I talked about the value of emulation in terms of providing direct project cost and schedule reductions that generally dwarf the actual costs of emulation systems. I have been asked by some to provide a “prequel” discussion, with a higher level description of the SoC verification problem and how emulation systems address verification challenges. Rather than trying to cover the … Read More

Emulation 101 – SoC Emulation vs. Prototyping: What’s the Difference?

Posted Jul 20, 2009, by Ralph Zak

This is my first blog posting about SoC Emulation for verification of SoC designs.  To set the stage, along with my biases, I am currently employed by Mentor Graphics and responsible for business development in the Emulation Division. I am an un-apologetic, evangelist for hardware-based verification. My experiences with hardware assisted verification began with simulation accelerators in the 80’s … Read More
