The growing complexity in the design and verification of ICs amplifies the challenges of getting to market on time with first-time success. Those challenges associated with turnaround times and verification closure require greater efficiency and acceleration of all verification tasks, which can be achieved only by becoming data driven. Preserving historical design and verification data allows experienced engineers to make judgements, but with modern high-performance computing and mass storage this data can be augmented with predictive and prescriptive analytics. This is known as big data.
Big data is transforming all industries, enabling them to innovate their products more rapidly and improve many aspects of our lives. EDA is powering these transformations. Verification needs to transform in step, so we can predict which test to run next, the root cause of a failure, and what stimulus is required. Questa™ Verification IQ is the Siemens EDA collaborative, data-driven verification solution that transforms the verification process using analytics, collaboration, and traceability.
