NVIDIA's HORIZON hit 100% pass rates across every major RTL benchmark using nothing but Git commits as agent memory - no Redis, no DB. But one benchmark alone burned 82 iterations and a third of all tokens. Here's what that means for anyone building agentic verification workflows.
Discover how AI is transforming hardware verification in 2025, as discussed by Abhi Kolpekwar (VP at Siemens) on "The DV Digest" podcast. Explore the evolving role of verification engineers, the impact of artificial intelligence on EDA tools, and the real-world shift from hype to practical results in chip design and testing.
Every verification engineer I’ve talked with since this AI thing started has told me the same thing: “It’s far from excellent.” And honestly, it looked like if you don’t write fullstack JavaScript or Python, ChatGPT or Claude’s code generation will…
Learn how to set up remote debugging for CocoTB and PyUVM hardware verification tests using VSCode and debugpy. This step-by-step guide shows you how to inspect variables, set breakpoints, and step through PyUVM code execution while running tests on a remote machine.
Introduction Throughout my verification career, I’ve consistently used uvm_config_db as my go-to mechanism for sharing data between components in UVM testbenches. It’s ubiquitous in training materials, example code, and verification environments. However, after reading Cliff Cummings’ illuminating paper “The Untapped…
In modern SoC designs, transaction routing through multiple paths is a common scenario. When the same transaction can take different routes with variable delays, ensuring data consistency becomes challenging. This blog post explores a UVM testbench architecture designed to verify out-of-order transaction handling while maintaining correct ordering for transactions with matching IDs.
