TITLE: Text on Functional Verification
"The Functional Verification of Electronic Systems", ISBN: 978-
1-931695-31-8) offers a comprehensive overview of functional
verification from the points of view of leading experts currently
at work in the electronic-design industry. As the size and
complexity of modern chip designs have increased, the need for
full and accurate functional verification during the design
process has become still greater. Many companies are now
realizing that verification is something they need as a core
competence. However, the process of verification can devour a
large portion of the effort devoted to a design project. To
address this, various techniques have emerged with the aim of
improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the verification
process. These include coverage, simulation, testbench
automation, transaction-level modeling, and assertion-based
verification. This text examines past and current verification
landscapes and assesses the technologies, languages, and
methodologies in use today that will improve functional
verification into the future. The 450-page book is available in
either soft-cover or CDROM for $80. For additional information,
