The problem with today's existing methodologies is that verification issubservient to design. This principle requires a shift in paradigm,especially in designing complex electronic systems. Why?

“Digital convergence” is creating demand for functionally complex ICs in six-nine month design cycles at mass-market costs. On the one hand, increased capital investments in the late 1990s have seen ...

As design complexity grows, so does the need for every piece in the design flow—hardware, software, IP, as well as the ecosystem — to be tied together more closely. At one level, design flow capacity ...
