SystemVerilog is a set of extensions to the Verilog hardware description language and is expected to become IEEE standard 1800 later in 2005. SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) form an important subset of ...

SystemVerilog provides an advantage in addressing the verification complexity challenge—not simply as a new language for describing complex structures, but as a platform for driving a more efficient, ...

Verification remains the single biggest challenge in the design of system-on-chip (SoC) devices and reusable IP blocks. As designs continue to grow in size and complexity, new techniques emerge that ...

A little over a decade ago, electronic system-level (ESL) methodologies were all the rage, and there were a number of language options that promised to raise the abstraction level for both design and ...
