Essentials of SoC Design for Verification

This Standalone NOS provides an in-depth understanding of advanced System-on-Chip (SoC) design and verification methodologies. It covers multi-core SoCs, hardware accelerators, and UVM-based SoC verification environments, including hands-on case studies like DIR-V processor verification. Additionally, the course explores SoC emulation, FPGA-based verification, post-silicon validation, and high-level synthesis for AI/ML hardware accelerators. Students will engage in real-world projects, including Linux porting, benchmarking, and performance evaluation, preparing them for modern SoC development and testing challenges.
