Flow is shaky for programmable SoCs 2001-03-01
Programmable SoC designs are becoming the trend of the future thanks to the greater density of today's programmable devices and the availability of efficient microprocessors. Unfortunately the CAD flows for these devices are far from being robust.  
Questions for SystemC 2001-05-16
OSCI is supposed to be an "open" and independent standards effort, but Synopsys still has total control over the license agreement.  
What is formal verification? 2010-05-21
Functional verification is a critical element in the development of today's complex digital designs. Hardware complexity growth continues to follow Moore's Law, but verification complexity is even more challenging.  
A practical way of inspecting IP quality 2011-10-12
Find out how to set up a process which can give you solid incoming IP quality inspection—a process that quite likely finds potential problems you may not have checked before, all with a minimum of overhead both in maintenance and in cycle time.
