SystemVerilog is not a new hardware description language. SystemVerilog is a rich set of extensions to the existing Verilog HDL. In my work as a Verilog and SystemVerilog consultant and trainer, I ...

[Mark] starts a post from a bit ago with: “… maybe you have also heard that SystemVerilog is simply an extension of Verilog, focused on testing and verification.” This is both true and false, ...

In an EDA Views column posted to EEdesign April 4, 2003, Mitch Weaver of Cadence Design Systems wrote of the need to extend the Verilog standard to support ever-increasing design sizes. Mr. Weaver ...

SystemVerilog marries a number of verification concepts, primarily in the areas of design, assertions, and testbench creation, that were previously embodied in separate and sometimes proprietary ...

Imperas Software, a developer of RISC-V processor verification technology, announced as part of the participation at DVCon 2021, Simon Davidmann will host a personal perspective on the formation and ...

When you think about hardware description languages, you probably think of Verilog or VHDL. There are others, of course, but those are the two elephants in the room. Do we need another one?

This is not about replacing Verilog. It’s about evolving the hardware development stack so engineers can operate at the level of intent, not just implementation.

System Verilog is considered the current standard for a combined hardware description and verification language, and has been welcomed with open arms since it was approved by IEEE in 2005. Its ...

Verification – has been becoming a nightmare for engineers with the increasing requirements and complexity of the design. Mitigating the complexity of a verification environment with the increasing ...
