Given the relative novelty and complexity of RISC-V RTL designs, whether you are buying a commercially supported core or downloading a popular open-source offering, there is the small but non-zero ...

As design size and complexity grows, the design verification effort grows even more. It takes significant amount of time to thoroughly verify complex control logic of a design, which is the key and ...

“Golden” RTL code has been seen as a holy grail of IC design for many years. It promises to deliver code that is reusable in future designs. However, golden RTL is very difficult to achieve. Too many ...

Many of today's large, complex designs can contain thousands of lines of Verilog or VHDL code. Quite often, teams of engineers—with some members possibly situated in disparate locations worldwide—will ...
