SystemVerilog is not a new hardware description language. SystemVerilog is a rich set of extensions to the existing Verilog HDL. In my work as a Verilog and SystemVerilog consultant and trainer, I ...

The SystemVerilog language standard is one of the hottest topics in EDA today, and with good reason. It takes a huge step up from traditional hardware description languages, incorporating key concepts ...

Today, functional verification consumes most of the time in the design of layered protocols like OSI Model, PCI Express, etc. As we think of reuse of design components, the reuse of verification ...

In the 1970s, most simulation was at the gate level and primarily used for board level simulation. Commercial simulators included Lasar from Teradyn and Tegas. In 1981, Hilo was created by Brunel ...

SystemC 2.1 supports all hardware concepts introduced by HDLs such as Verilog and VHDL. V2SC proposes a methodology for automatic conversion of Verilog 2001 constructs into SystemC 2.1 language. This ...

The latest version of Accellera’s Verilog-Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) standard, Verilog-AMS 2.3, unifies the standard’s previous version with IEEE Std. 1364-2005, the Verilog hardware description ...
