Abstract

Today's leading chip and system companies are faced with ever increasing design verification challenges; industry studies reveal that as much as 50% of the total schedule is being spent in verification. Large companies, with almost infinite resources, have shown that throwing CPU cycles and people at the simulation problem still doesn't guarantee a level of coverage desired by the design team.
