The huge undertaking of verifying a system-on-chip (SoC) design has challenged engineers for more than 20 years –– the amount of time spent on it hasn’t varied much from between 50-70% of the entire development cycle. That’s because time-to-market pressures relentlessly increase, as do design sizes. However, verification budgets don’t increase at the same rate, forcing management to use available resources more efficiently...
