There is no “One Size Fits All”

Verification and software platforms need to interoperate

SDK OS

Simulation

•Highest speed

•Earliest in the

flow

Virtual

Platform

HDL

Simulation

•KHz range

•Accurate

•Excellent HW

•Broadly

available

• Mixed-

abstractions

•Limited SW

•Good to debug

with full detail

•Expensive to

replicate

•OK to debug

•More expensive

than software to

replicate

SW-DRIVEN TEST

METRICS

DEBUG

Uniform multi-engine verification

• Predictability: compile and RT speed

• Verification productivity: fast bring-up & ToT

• Versatility: solutions supporting over 20+ different use
