New Portable Stimulus Tutorial Available

Until now, verification teams were not able to reuse tests as their efforts progressed from virtual platforms to RTL, from block-level to system-level, or from simulation to emulation, prototyping or silicon. This has changed with the development of the Accellera Portable Test and Stimulus standard, which enables reuse of verification intent throughout the product development process. The new "Portable Test and Stimulus: The Next Level of Verification Productivity is Here" tutorial delves into this powerful productivity-increasing standard.

This in-depth technical tutorial focuses on a set of typical design use cases from a variety of applications and shows how to use the Portable Stimulus Standard to create an abstract model of your verification intent. The tutorial then demonstrates how these models can be used to generate scenarios to be executed on the different platforms and environments used in your development process, and how the models can be reused and leveraged from project to project. A Q&A session with the Portable Stimulus Working Group follows the tutorial.
