Accellera Systems Initiative is an independent, not-for profit organization dedicated to create, support, promote, and advance system-level design, modeling, and verification standards for use by the worldwide electronics industry. We are composed of a broad range of members that fully support the work of our technical committee to develop technology standards that are balanced, open, and benefit the worldwide electronics industry. Leading companies and semiconductor manufacturers around the world are using our electronic design automation (EDA) and intellectual property (IP) standards in a wide range of projects in numerous application areas to develop consumer, mobile, wireless, automotive, and other “smart” electronic devices. Through an ongoing partnership with the IEEE, standards and technical implementations developed by Accellera Systems Initiative are contributed to the IEEE for formal standardization and ongoing governance.

1145: Scalable Functional Verification using Portable Stimulus Standard

Tuesday, March 5, 2024 11:00 am — 12:30 pm

Ever increasing design complexity across different market segments (Auto, Mobile, Servers, Compute etc.) and different architecture types (single die vs chiplets) has put verification effort and strategies used across IP, Subsystem and SOC under the spotlight. With challenging TTM (time to market) for products, it is imperative to have a scalable verification approach that allows single constrained random stimulus specification to be re used across different verification environments and strategies.

In this paper, we will see our experience of using Portable Test and Stimulus Standard (PSS) language to enable seamless reusability of constraint random scenarios across platforms, design integration levels and verification environments.
