Re-defining Verification Performance
Technology Overview
Abstract
Performance is key to achieving verification productivity. Yet, traditional brute force approaches to improving performance will only provide incremental benefits, which will not keep up with Moore's Law. Achieving 100x to 1000x improvements in verification performance requires thinking outside the box. This keynote provides a historical survey of ways other industries have faced their performance issues, drawing on examples ranging from Henry Ford to the Intel 8088 microprocessor. Then, based on these observations from other industries, a prescription is offered to address today's verification performance issues.
