Tale of Twin Metrics: What To Look For When Buying a Verification IP
November 13, 2014
So what do you value in a verification IP? Most people would say two things – reduction in verification execution effort and zero set up time. While execution effort is reduced by "Completeness" of a VIP, the set up time is reduced by making it more "Customizable".
Having said that, in most VIP development projects, one metric gets compromised at the alter of the other. Often times, while making the Verification IP more complete or “Out of the Box”, VIP developers ignore design choices that would lead to easier/faster customization during set up and execution.
In this blog, we take a closer look at these twin metrics. What do they mean? How does one achieve them? Is there a trade-off between the two?
