Functional design verification for the PowerPC 601 microprocessor
S. C. Glenn, Gavin Meil, Edgar Rodriguez, J. Brooks · 2002
The PowerPC 601 microprocessor, in its goal to establish the PowerPC architecture in the marketplace, had to meet an aggressive 12-month development schedule, be sufficiently functional upon first-pass silicon for system and software development, and quickly achieve volume shipment quality. Accomplishing these goals required comprehensive functional verification methodologies.>
