Abstract: A method for evaluating an electronic design under test may be performed in an environment that includes a functional verification test bench having at least one verification component coupled to the electronic design under test. The method includes provisioning the functional verification test bench to provide protocol-agnostic performance data for activity of the electronic design under test during functional verification testing of the electronic design under test. The method further includes capturing at least a part of the protocol-agnostic performance data from the at least one verification component, and calculating, from the protocol-agnostic performance data, a performance measurement for the electronic design under test.

Abstract: Exemplary techniques for utilizing architecture specific code are described. In a described embodiment, a method comprises storing architecture specific design verification code in a plurality of architecture specific code libraries. Each of the architecture specific code libraries corresponds to a select generation of architecture. The method further verifies a design of the select architecture by utilizing a corresponding architecture specific code library from the plurality of architecture specific code libraries and a non-architecture specific code library. The non-architecture specific code library corresponds to at least two different generations of the architecture.
