The ever-growing microarchitecture complexity of processors creates a widening gap between the verification plan and the test generation technologies used in its implementation. This gap impacts the cost and quality of the verification process. To overcome this, we introduce a novel test generation platform for processor verification. This approach is based on a scenario description language th...

Design validation by simulation-based techniques is the most common approach to verification due to the computational complexity of more formal techniques. Validation entails the generation of a test pattern sequence which is applied to the design during simulation to trigger erroneous behavior. Since simulation can only be performed with a small subset of the entire space of test sequences, so...

Functional verification has become a major challenge in the chip design area. To improve the efficiency of verification, it is necessary to choose appropriate verification method and tools. An important aspect of functional verification is RTL verification, simulation-based verification is main method in RTL verification. Based on FT-8 multicore processor, we developed a configurable test stimu...
