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.

Achieving the desired safety level is burdened by the runtime of fault injection and also data management over the duration of the fault campaign. In this paper we describe the process of data management and fault injection runtime optimizations that reduce the time to achieve the desired safety level and the product certification. The paper gives a case study of the fault campaign flow for an internal IP (NPU) in a large automotive IC by using the emulation for S/W-based safety mechanisms.
