Emulation 103--Accelerating Transaction-based Verification

Posted Oct 7, 2009, by Ralph Zak

Transaction-Based Verification is a technique for verifying modern SoC designs with interfaces such as PCI express, using test benches at the transaction level of abstraction. Transaction-based verification complements directed and constrained random tests, and is an emerging methodology for verifying complex SoCs that have multiple on-chip standard bus and peripheral interfaces. Typically in a transaction-based … Read More
