In a huge software project for an embedded application, a function behaved in a strange fashion. A variable, which must not be changed while the function is executed, was changed. The function itself ...

I’ve always regarded debugging as the most difficult of engineering disciplines, whether it’s for still-on-the-bench prototypes or fielded products. It’s a hard skill to teach, takes a lot of ...

For years, semiconductor industry surveys have shown that functional verification is the dominant phase in chip development and that debug is the most time-consuming task for verification. The problem ...

Pretty much any large system-on-chip (SoC) design today will have multiple processor cores in it. Often these are part of a subsystem handling communications, audio or video, alongside one or more ...

Verification engineers continually report that up to 70% of the total engineering time spent on verification is consumed by debug, particularly when relying on disparate tools across multiple vendors.

Debug often has been labeled the curse of management and schedules. It is considered unpredictable and often can happen close to the end of the development cycle, or even after – leading to frantic ...

Google Director of Research and renowned artificial intelligence (AI) expert Peter Norvig, presented an entirely different side of AI and machine learning at the EmTech Digital conference. He compared ...
