		<title>A Quick History of Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) Verification</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last decade has seen a sea change in integrated circuit design and verification. Around the year 2000, the Intel Pentium 4 had 42 Million transistors and was built on a 180 nm process, with CPU and interfaces built on different chips. A mere ten years later, Intel’s cloud server, Westmere EX, has 2.6 Billion [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hardware-Assisted Verification and the Animal Kingdom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A senior executive of one of the big three EDA vendors was once quoted as saying:  “An emulator you used four years ago, you can use as a bookend, but not much else.  Or, you can throw it over the side of a boat and use it to grow coral.” While we’ve chuckled over this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Livin’ on a Prayer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was driving back from a meeting one day last week with the car radio playing in the background, mulling over the development environment a senior hardware designer had just described.  As you might expect, he depicted a scenario of tightened project cycles, reduced budgets and resources, added features, frustration and loads of late nights [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting You Closer to Verification Closure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today’s leading-edge designs are verified by sophisticated and diverse verification environments, the complexity of which often rival or exceed that of the design itself.  Despite advancements in the area of stimulus generation and coverage, existing tools provide no comprehensive, objective measurement of the quality of your verification environment.  They do not tell you how good [...]]]></description>

		<title>X-verification: Conquering the “Unknown”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As Craig Cochran so eloquently put it in the previous blog article, “SoCs today are highly integrated, employing many disparate types of IP, running at different clock rates with different power requirements. Understanding the new failure modes that arise from confluences of all these complications, as well as how to prevent them and achieve sign-off, [...]]]></description>
