System Validation - It's the Protocol Stupid

Monday, March 2, 2026

Today’s conventional wisdom is that you need the fastest and highest capacity verification engines to tackle the hardware and software complexity of complex multi-die systems. Those teams that are just thinking about these aspects are in for a rough awakening. Without a full range of protocol solutions matching the IP to their verification engines, they can spend months before they can run the 1st system validation test. Participants of this tutorial will learn what it takes to validate a protocol with state-of-the-art solutions.

We will take you through the 10 interface solutions you need to successfully implement and verify interfaces. Each step will include a demo video of the solution. The tutorial will also relate to our demonstration of Hardware-assisted verification on the show floor. Tutorial participants can ask deep dive questions on the show floor.
