Best-in-Class organizations are three times more likely to leverage solutions for network simulation and emulation than Laggards, according to data from Aberdeen Group’s February benchmark report, ...

In regard to network testing, the terms emulation and simulation are often used interchangeably. In most cases, either term will generally get the point across, but there’s a big difference between a ...

According to industry pundits, FPGAs take forever to compile and have internal timing problems. ASICs, on the other hand, are power-hungry and require longer development time. When it comes to ...

The speed of today's software simulators varies widely, depending on the type of simulator, the performance and memory capacity of the workstation, and the size of the simulated model. Although ...

R>epresenting a multifunction verification platform that provides both simulation acceleration and in-circuit emulation capabilities, the Palladium ASIC design verification system dramatically ...

Chip designs today have more functionality, more black-boxed intellectual property (IP) and shorter tape-out schedules. However, they require even more design verification than in the past, which ...

Photovoltaic emulator and simulator technologies serve as essential tools in the research and development of renewable energy systems. By replicating the complex current-voltage characteristics of ...

The huge undertaking of verifying a system-on-chip (SoC) design has challenged engineers for more than 20 years –– the amount of time spent on it hasn’t varied much from between 50-70% of the entire ...

This paper describes the process and tools used in the verification of a family of Secure Digital (SD) IP cores. The verification process described included SystemC verification, RTL simulation and ...

For as long as there’s been war, there have been games of war. In 1812, a Prussian officer named George Reisswitz invented what is considered to be the first wargame called Kriegsspiel, a board game ...
