A recent Intel keynote speech noted that the cost of one transistor is less than the cost of the ink in the period dot at the end of a sentence.
Astounding. Semiconductor transistors are one of humankind’s most amazing inventions, yet they’re more plentiful than grains of rice.
 Tackling verification challenges for PCIe® 5.0Sponsored by Anritsu PCIe 5.0 works at 32 GT/s data rate per lane and offers many new features, including support for an alternate protocol, precoding to prevent contiguous burst errors, and link equalization flow enhancements. While these features offer several advantages, they also pose additional challenges for verification engineers. This paper discusses the PCIe 5.0 features and their verification challenges. It also describes a case study on how to address these challenges using a strong verification IP solution. |
