智能手机、平板电脑以及其它高性能消费电子产品等的融合趋势使得系统设计日趋复杂,单个系统会整合多核CPU、图形处理器和DSP,而且通常要支持10多个接口协议。这对SoC芯片设计验证方法学产生了巨大的影响。 The convergence of systems such as smartphones, tablets and other high-performance consumer electronics tends to complicate system design. A single system consolidates multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and DSPs and typically supports more than 10 interface protocols. This has had a huge impact on SoC chip design verification methodology.
