Presentation by Jai Kumar, Verification Technologist from Sun Microsystems at DesignCon 2007, January 29-February 1, 2007, Santa Clara, California.
Abstract: It is now more important than ever to get the product right the first
time! And this is no different for the latest-generation CoolThreads
UltraSPARC T1 processor. The UltraSPARC T1 processor with up to 32
simultaneous threads, posed a significant verification challenge to get
the HW and SW right the first time. This paper describes usage of
high-speed emulation platforms to verify RTL using directed and random
tests and verify firmware and Solaris OS even before the design taped
out. To reduce time to market, I will show techniques on "pulling-in"
many post-SI bring-up tasks, even design tape-out.
