Rising development costs motivate companies to design fewer systems-on-chip, but to make each one they do design more flexible and programmable. Doing so makes it possible to reuse designs to take ...

Processors recently have added explicit parallelism in the form of multiple cores, and processor road maps are showing the number of cores increasing exponentially over time. This is in addition to ...

You only need to validate one core of a CMP design. So if that core is simpler, validation is easier. And you have to worry about the rest of the logic no matter what your core design is. You dont get ...

Testing multiple devices at the same time is not providing the equivalent reduction in overall test time due to a combination of test execution issues, the complexity of the devices being tested, and ...

Although complemented by other valuable technologies, functional simulation remains at the heart of semiconductor verification. Every chip project still develops a testbench, usually compliant with ...

Take advantage of lock-free, thread-safe implementations in C# to maximize the throughput of your .NET or .NET Core applications. Parallelism is the ability to have parallel execution of tasks on ...
