Hardware Design Language (HDL) The most important part of RTL design is the code that describes the behavior of the circuit. An HDL is a specification language that looks a lot like a programming language, with variables, function calls, logical statements like if-then-else and CASE, Boolean...
在传统的设计流程中,Architects直接提供设计文档给到RTL Design然后进行下一步的RTL Coding。对于一些简单的ASIC还好,但是对于复杂的类似于目前的GPU/CPU,架构师们其实还需要一些验证手段来确保当前的架构设计是合理的,期望与能得到一个当下最优解。这个时候就需要Performance Modeling的介入了,帮助架构师做各种大小/带宽...
Locale Support: Globalization testing validates that the application supports different languages, currency formats, number systems, cultural compliances, and date and time formats. No Hard-Coding: Makes sure that locale-specific data like text, symbols, etc. are dyn...
For context, porting RTL from one SoC to another SoC requires well-constructed, modular RTL code that is intuitive, easy to understand, and doesn’t require additional maintenance. However, as time-to-market windows shrunk over the years, the design community has been determined to find new ...
Low Power Design is a collection of techniques and methodologies aimed at reducing the overall dynamic and static power consumption of an integrated circuit (IC).
While there are some instances where the timing violation profile calls for drastic measures (e.g. floorplan adjustments, changes to the clock architecture, or RTL coding changes), the most common practice for addressing timing violations is through a combination of what-if analysis and incremental...
“I have to tell you: I’m a former programmer and can appreciate what goes into coding a GOOD “bullet proof” program. You have done an excellent job. I use EditPad Pro EVERY day and still haven’t explored many of its options.” 19 January 2022, New York, USA David Higgins “I...
Coding for fun - the hard way. Trying to implement a Game Boy® compatible machine with Verilog. This project is an open source Game Boy® compatible console Verilog RTL implementation. System Architecture The main system architecture is designed as follows (outdated): ...
of writing the code plus the opportunity to run, test, debug, deploy, merge or transform code to run on other platforms (multiplatform coding) are also important. All these capabilities require a powerful compiler and IDE which is a specialized tool to help developers create and test their ...
Coding problems in their simplest form are syntax violations of the language. The earlier that coding mistakes in the testbench or RTL are caught, the easier and quicker they are to fix. Otherwise, to correct syntax violations, the design must be compiled as the first step to determine code...
