Novel test selectors have demonstrated their effectiveness in accelerating the closure of functional coverage for various industrial digital designs in simulation-based verificatio…
Using Neural Networks for Novelty-based Test Selection to Accelerate Functional Coverage Closure
Xuan Zheng, Kerstin Eder, Tim Blackmore
Novel test selectors used in simulation-based verification have been shown to significantly accelerate coverage closure regardless of the number of coverage holes. This paper prese…
Hybrid Intelligent Testing in Simulation-Based Verification
Nyasha Masamba, Kerstin Eder, Tim Blackmore
Efficient and effective testing for simulation-based hardware verification is challenging. Using constrained random test generation, several millions of tests may be required to ac…
Supervised Learning for Coverage-Directed Test Selection in Simulation-Based Verification
Nyasha Masamba, Kerstin Eder, Tim Blackmore
Constrained random test generation is one of the most widely adopted methods for generating stimuli for simulation-based verification. Randomness leads to test diversity, but tests…
