HBM Memory Model
HBM Memory Model provides an smart way to verify the HBM component of a SOC or a ASIC.
Overview
HBM Memory Model provides an smart way to verify the HBM component of a SOC or a ASIC. The SmartDV's HBM memory model is fully compliant with standard HBM Specification and provides the following features. Better than Denali Memory Models.
HBM Memory Model is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env
HBM Memory Model comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
