On-demand Web Seminar
Abstract
With today's complex SoCs, the time spent on verification now consumes 70 percent of the total development time. A more efficient and effective verification methodology is crucial for improving first pass silicon success. Gathering and measuring coverage statistics are a critical part of this methodology. Coverage metrics are needed to assess the extent and quality of verification functionality, interface behaviors and corner cases for RTL structures. These metrics allow you to focus on actionable portions of the design. This session will discuss how to perform an easy measurement techniques with ModelSim that gets you well on your way toward 100% Coverage .
