Scalable RTL in Design and Verification
Scalable RTL in Design and Verification Scalable RTL in Design and Verification
ResultsPhysical• Easier integration of architectural changes– Adapting to fluctuating buffer size requirements– Adjusting interfaces to alleviate routing congestion– Resizing structures as performance considerations arerevisited• Changes made with confidence because of previousverification of scaled versions• Physical memory flexibility allowed for easy exploration ofbuffer structure trade-offsScalable RTL in Design and Verification 9/17/2007 Page 18
ResultsVerification• More focused verification– Smaller sizes used when targeting boundary condition logic– Specified sizes used when targeting throughput andbandwidth functioning• Large testbenches able to fit in more simulators• More effective use of accelerator• More design blocks made tractable for formal analysisScalable RTL in Design and Verification 9/17/2007 Page 19
