Efficient coverage closure is a key aspect of functional verification in modern digital semiconductor design.

Code coverage of the register transfer level (RTL) design, functional coverage as specified by the verification team, and coverage derived from assertions are combined to yield a single metric for ...

Code coverage complements this by tracking whether all parts of the RTL have been exercised. While code coverage is relatively easy to maximize, functional coverage remains more subjective. It depends ...

This whitepaper explains the basics of UVM functional coverage for RISC-V cores using the Google RISCV-DV open-source project, Synopsys verification solutions, and RISC-V processor cores from Bluespec ...
