  • Method for reconfiguration of random biases in a synthesized design without recompilation
    Patent number: 7284210
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for performing testing and verification is disclosed. The method includes converting a bias data specification to a driver specification. The driver specification is then parsed into a base constraint and bias file, wherein the base constraint and bias file is suitable for conversion into one of a set comprising a netlist representation and a random simulation representation. A verification framework is selected from among a set comprising a random verification framework using the random simulation representation and a synthesized verification framework using the netlist representation. In response to selecting the random verification framework using the random simulation representation, the random simulation representation is compiled into a parameter database. In response to selecting the synthesized verification framework using the netlist representation, the netlist representation is compiled into a synthesized model.
