10x Verification Productivity Gains? What’s Practical and What Isn’t

Many challenges confronting design teams at the functional verification stage are inhibiting the advancement to a 10x increase in verification productivity. It’s obvious that we can’t just brute force the problem by throwing more compute resources at it.

Plug and Play Memory Test, Repair, and Programmability from RTL Planning

This presentation describes a memory test flow that begins with test planning during RTL development to generate BIST circuitry that is easily, and automatically integrated into the design utilizing standard IEEE 1149.1 and 1500 test interfaces.

Insanity! Using Your Existing FPGA Design Process & Expecting Improved Productivity

By taking a design approach that is requirements driven and well integrated from design creation through implementation, the project efficiency, productivity, predictability and final FPGA quality will dramatically improve. This approach will provide status and project visibility at every stage of the flow and deliver synthesis results that quickly meet design goals, keeping your projects on schedule.

Accelerating Embedded Systems with Android, Linux and Real-time Development

This session takes a look at the design of Android, how it works and how it may be deployed to accelerate the development of a connected device. Along with guidelines to getting started with Android, the Android SDK, its available tools and resources will be reviewed and consideration given to applications for Android beyond conventional mobile handsets such as medical devices, consumer electronics and military/aerospace systems.
