The Functional Verification of Electronic Systems offers a comprehensive overview of functional verification from the points of view of leading experts currently at work in the electronic-design industry. As the size and complexity of modern chip designs have increased, the need for full and accurate functional verification during the design process has become still greater. Many companies are now realizing that verification is something they need as a core competence. However, the process of verification can devour a large portion of the effort devoted to a design project. To address this, various techniques have emerged with the aim of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the verification process. These include coverage, simulation, testbench automation, transaction-level modeling, and assertion-based verification. The Functional Verification of Electronic Systems examines past and current verification landscapes and assesses the technologies, languages, and methodologies in use today that will improve functional verification into the future.
