Priming The Pump

SystemC, Advanced Verification, and Vehicular Wi-Fi

by Amelia Dalton

Get your motor runnin’ folks, we’re talking verification this week. In a special Fish Fry interview double-header, I chat with Brett Cline (Forte Design Systems) about what Forte’s SystemC synthesis tools look like, what’s behind their collaboration with High IP, and what his secret ingredient is for the best Bloody Mary. I also talk with Graham Bell (Real Intent) about the struggles of advanced verification, what their tool flow looks like, why Real Intent isn’t just a bug-hunting tool, and why foosball is like accelerated advanced verification signoff.

Also this week, I check out the newest advances in vehicular Wi-Fi and investigate why folks in my hometown of Portland, Oregon may need it the most.
