商品描述

The Second Edition of Writing Testbenches, Functional Verification of HDL Models presents the latest verification techniques to produce fully functional first silicon ASICs, systems-on-a-chip (SoC), boards and entire systems.

From the Foreword:

Building on the first edition, " ...the most successful and popular contemporary verification textbook", the author raises the verification level of abstraction by introducing coverage-driven constrained random transaction-level self-checking testbenches - all made possible through the introduction of hardware verification languages (HVLs) such as e from Verisity and OpenVera from Synopsys...." Harry Foster, Chief Architect, Verplex Systems, Inc.

Topics included in the new Second Edition:

  • Discussions on OpenVera and e;
  • approaches for writing constrainable random stimulus generators;
  • strategies for making testbenches self-checking;
  • a clear blueprint of a verification process that aims for first time success;
  • recent advances in functional verification such as coverage-driven verification process;
  • VHDL and Verilog language semantics;
  • the semantics are presented in new verification-oriented languages
  • techniques for applying stimulus and monitoring the response of a design;
  • behavioral modeling using non-synthesizeable constructs and coding style;
  • updated for Verilog 2001.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

第二版《撰寫測試平台,HDL模型的功能驗證》介紹了最新的驗證技術,以產生完全功能的第一片矽ASIC、系統單晶片(SoC)、電路板和整個系統。

從前言:
基於第一版,「...當代最成功和受歡迎的驗證教科書」,作者透過引入基於覆蓋的約束隨機交易級自檢測試平台,提升了驗證的抽象層次——這一切都得益於硬體驗證語言(HVLs)的引入,例如Verisity的e和Synopsys的OpenVera....」哈利·福斯特,Verplex Systems, Inc.首席架構師。

新第二版中包含的主題:
- OpenVera和e的討論;
- 撰寫可約束隨機刺激生成器的方法;
- 使測試平台自檢的策略;
- 旨在首次成功的驗證過程的清晰藍圖;
- 最近在功能驗證方面的進展,例如基於覆蓋的驗證過程;
- VHDL和Verilog語言語義;
- 在新的驗證導向語言中呈現語義;
- 應用刺激和監控設計響應的技術;
- 使用不可合成構造和編碼風格的行為建模;
- 更新至Verilog 2001。
