The SystemVerilog standard is the result of an industry-wide effort to extend the Verilog language in a consistent way to include enhanced modeling and verification features. By adding verification ...

The need to improve functional verification productivity and quality continues to grow. The 2004/2002 IC/ASIC Functional Verification Study, by Collett International Research, shows that logic or ...

The functional verification process involves the development of constrained random test cases, and the technique of coverage driven verification [1] to produce, and analyze the simulation results.

Indeed, designers have embraced SystemVerilog—it's by far the fastest growing design/verification language in the world today (Fig. 1). "The ability to do assertions is significantly improved in ...
