In an EDA Views column posted to EEdesign April 4, 2003, Mitch Weaver of Cadence Design Systems wrote of the need to extend the Verilog standard to support ever-increasing design sizes. Mr. Weaver ...

SystemVerilog was developed as an extension to the widely used Verilog hardware description language. In addition to new design constructs that bring the language to a higher level of abstraction, it ...

Standards, and their enhancement, are a sign of a technology's maturation. For the Verilog hardware description language (HDL), the latest stage in maturation is SystemVerilog 3.0, which has been ...

A sure sign that a design language is making its way into the mainstream is the appearance of a spate of tools supporting it. For SystemVerilog devotees, the latest good news is the commercial ...
