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.
