Debugging at the Electronic System Level by Frank Rogin (English) Hardcover Book

The Nile on eBay Debugging at the Electronic System Level by Frank Rogin, Rolf Drechsler Debugging becomes more and more the bottleneck to chip design productivity, especially while developing modern complex integrated circuits and systems at the Electronic System Level (ESL). FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Debugging becomes more and more the bottleneck to chip design productivity, especially while developing modern complex integrated circuits and systems at the Electronic System Level (ESL). Today, debugging is still an unsystematic and lengthy process. Here, a simple reporting of a failure is not enough, anymore. Rather, it becomes more and more important not only to find many errors early during development but also to provide efficient methods for their isolation. In Debugging at the Electronic System Level the state-of-the-art of modeling and verification of ESL designs is reviewed. There, a particular focus is taken onto SystemC. Then, a reasoning hierarchy is introduced. The hierarchy combines well-known debugging techniques with whole new techniques to improve the verification efficiency at ESL. The proposed systematic debugging approach is supported amongst others by static code analysis, debug patterns, dynamic program slicing, design visualization, property generation, and automatic failure isolation. All techniques were empirically evaluated using real-world industrial designs. Summarized, the introduced approach enables a systematic search for errors in ESL designs. Here, the debugging techniques improve and accelerate error detection, observation, and isolation as well as design understanding. Notes Currently, no other book is known to us that considers debugging for ESL designs Debugging is still a manual and unsystematic process. Every technique, that helps the designer to improve and accelerate debugging, is welcome The book presents a hierarchy of novel and state-of-the-art debugging techniques. The continuous application of these techniques improves the verification efficiency at ESL There are only a few books about debugging in general Back Cover Debugging becomes more and more the bottleneck to chip design productivity, especially while developing modern complex integrated circuits and systems at the Electronic System Level (ESL).
