Autonomous vehicles must operate in a world of uncertainties. Validation platforms are now capable of determining whether behavior is correct given complex contextual attributes. David Fritz, Mentor, A Siemens Business There is an interesting dashcam video circulating in the autonomous vehicle (AV) development community of a Tesla-paid test driver coming up on what the driver […]
Understanding low-power checks and how to use them
by Aijaz Fatima, Mentor, a Siemens business We live in a shrinking world, and like so much else, the size of ICs is shrinking too. The small size of an IC has many advantages, but it increases the power density of the IC, which leads to many concerns. An IC with a high power density […]
Digital-twin simulation includes auto hardware/software sub-systems, full vehicle models, sensor data, traffic flows and more
Siemens has introduced the PAVE360 pre-silicon autonomous validation environment — a program established to enable and accelerate the development of innovative autonomous vehicle platforms. PAVE360 provides a comprehensive environment for multi-supplier collaboration across the automotive ecosystem for the development of next-generation automotive chips. PAVE360 also extends digital twin simulation beyond processors to include automotive hardware […]
How to structure SystemVerilog for reuse as Portable Stimulus
by Matthew Balance, Mentor, a Siemens Business In our previous article, The Nuts and Bolts of Verification: Recasting SystemVerilog for Portable Stimulus, we described how verification teams can jumpstart portable stimulus test description creation using existing SystemVerilog constructs and principles. Now, switching from analogy to idiom, we’ll dive into the “nuts and bolts” of how […]
The nuts and bolts of verification: Recasting SystemVerilog for Portable Stimulus
by Matthew Balance, Mentor, a Siemens Business Nuts and bolts. So prosaic, yet so fundamental and essential. They can be reused, mixed-and-matched in endless ways. All those old jars and tins full of leftover nuts, bolts, and screws have saved many trips to the hardware store. Yet, if not for standardized gauge, thread count, and […]
Signal Integrity and high-speed design challenges: interview with Mentor’s Todd Westerhoff
At DesignCon 2019, I met with Todd Westerhoff, HyperLynx high-speed design analysis product manager at Mentor, a Siemens Business. Todd has over 38 years of experience in systems modeling, simulation and signal integrity. Prior to joining Mentor, Todd held senior technical and management roles at SiSoft, Cisco and Cadence. We spent time talking about current […]
How to create and run reusable register-test models
by Matthew Ballance, Mentor, a Siemens Business Register tests are a very useful smoke test at all design levels — from IP to subsystem to SoC. While the built-in register-test sequences in the UVM library are useful at the IP level, capturing register-test intent in a PSS model makes register-test functionality portable from the IP […]
Retargeting existing tests in an integrated SoC verification flow
by Matthew Ballance, Mentor, a Siemens Business The raison d’etre for portable stimulus is reuse. The Accellera Portable Stimulus Standard (PSS) promotes test intent reuse throughout the verification process and across the multiple engines on which those verification runs are performed. Test intent captured as portable stimulus models enables test reuse from the IP to […]
Enterprise-class embedded Linux covers multiple processor architectures
With the growth of internet of things (IoT) and other smart devices, it is becoming increasingly complex and expensive for manufacturers to develop embedded distributions and applications for these devices based on the Linux operating system. Siemens PLM Software today announced a new enterprise Mentor Embedded Linux (MEL) solution that provides electronics manufacturers secure, scalable and configurable distributions […]
