SESSION DESCRIPTION:
Modern systems are increasingly becoming microprocessor-based. Functional
verification of microprocessors has long been recognized as the toughest
challenge in verification. The papers in this session stress the need for
proper verification planning, highlight the need for test plan automation, and
illustrate the use of sophisticated test generation techniques to thoroughly
cover corner cases. Case studies highlight the application of a combination of
verification techniques to successfully verify these complex systems.
