Fast RTL Verification Closure with a High-Level Synthesis Design Flow
High-Level Synthesis (HLS) has been around for many years now. Using HLS has been proven to improve design productivity and to substantially reduce verification times. As more companies move towards adopting an HLS design and verification flow, one of the most important questions engineers ask is “How do I close on coverage?”
What you will learn:
- How to make sure C++ is clean for synthesis
- How to close coverage on HLS-generated RTL
- How to use Catapult Design Analyzer to find and correct coverage
holes
Who should attend:
- RTL designers
- Hardware architects and managers interested in moving up to HLS
- Verification engineers interested in understanding HLS-to-RTL
