Electronic Design Automation for IC System Design Verification and Testing

The first of two volumes in the Electronic Design Automation for Integrated Circuits Handbook Second Edition Electronic Design Automation for IC System Design Verification and Testing thoroughly examines system-level design microarchitectural design logic verification and testing. Chapters contributed by leading experts authoritatively discuss processor modeling and design tools using performance metrics to select microprocessor cores for integrated circuit (IC) designs design and verification languages digital simulation hardware acceleration and emulation and much more.New to This Edition:Major updates appearing in the initial phases of the design flow where the level of abstraction keeps rising to support more functionality with lower non-recurring engineering (NRE) costsSignificant revisions reflected in the final phases of the design flow where the complexity due to smaller and smaller geometries is compounded by the slow progress of shorter wavelength lithographyNew coverage of cutting-edge applications and approaches realized in the decade since publication of the previous edition—these are illustrated by new chapters on high-level synthesis system-on-chip (SoC) block-based design and back-annotating system-level modelsOffering improved depth and modernity Electronic Design Automation for IC System Design Verification and Testing provides a valuable state-of-the-art reference for electronic design automation (EDA) students researchers and professionals.
