The Portable Stimulus Standard (PSS) offers a scalable solution to the demands of SoC-level verification by enabling engineers to model verification intent at a higher level of abstraction and apply constrained-random techniques at the scenario level. This allows for automated generation of diverse test cases across multiple execution platforms, dramatically improving reuse and coverage.
This workshop will equip attendees with a deeper understanding of PSS fundamentals and demonstrate how to apply it to real-world verification challenges. Through practical examples, participants will learn how PSS can revitalize legacy flows, streamline test creation, and unlock new capabilities for system-level verification. We will cover the following topics:
Modeling system resource allocation and constraints
Modeling and automating device configuration
Reuse and composition of virtual sequences
Modeling complex coverage
Realizing PSS scenarios in UVM and C
Whether you're looking to extend your current methodology or future-proof your verification strategy, this session will show how PSS can help you meet today’s challenges—and tomorrow’s—with confidence.
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.
