Breaking the Language Barriers: Using Coverage Driven Verification to Improve the Quality of IP
This paper presents two unique solutions for facilitating functional coverage in VHDL and SystemC. One approach is to use post-simulation Value Change Dump (VCD) files to calculate functional coverage. The other approach, which is applicable only to SystemC, proposes extending the SystemC Verification Library (SCV) to facilitate functional coverage calculation.- Down & dirty with HW/SW co-design: Part 4 – Multi-objective optimization

Android, Linux and Real-Time Development for Embedded Systems
Android is an open source platform built by Google that includes an operating system, middleware and applications for the development of devices employing cellular communications. This session takes a look at the design of Android, how it works and how it may be deployed to accelerate the development of a connected device. Along with guidelines to getting started with Android, the Android SDK, its available tools and resources will be reviewed and consideration given to applications for Android beyond conventional mobile handsets such as medical devices, consumer electronics and military/aerospace systems. A brief review of how Android or Linux can coexist with an RTOS in multi-core designs will also be conducted.- Moore's Law, the bifurcation of the semiconductor industry and 3-D integration
