In a huge software project for an embedded application, a function behaved in a strange fashion. A variable, which must not be changed while the function is executed, was changed. The function itself ...

I’ve always regarded debugging as the most difficult of engineering disciplines, whether it’s for still-on-the-bench prototypes or fielded products. It’s a hard skill to teach, takes a lot of ...

For years, semiconductor industry surveys have shown that functional verification is the dominant phase in chip development and that debug is the most time-consuming task for verification. The problem ...

Debugging showdown: Gemini excelled in a multi-layered Python script test, fixing syntax, logic, and safety flaws better than its AI rivals. Why it matters: Strong debugging skills in AI tools could ...

Pretty much any large system-on-chip (SoC) design today will have multiple processor cores in it. Often these are part of a subsystem handling communications, audio or video, alongside one or more ...

Google Director of Research and renowned artificial intelligence (AI) expert Peter Norvig, presented an entirely different side of AI and machine learning at the EmTech Digital conference. He compared ...

Accurate library characterization is a crucial step for modern chip design and verification. For full-chip designs with billions of transistors, timing sign-off through simulation is unfeasible due to ...

While the Xilinx UltraScale VU440 FPGA device looks to rocket FPGA-based prototyping forward in respect to ASIC gate capacity is sadly does nothing to help you debug your prototype. If anything it ...
