Metamodeling-Driven IP Reuse for SoC Integration and Microprocessor Design

by Deepak A Mathaikutty, Sandeep K Shukla

Overview

This cutting-edge resource offers you an in-depth understanding of metamodeling approaches for the reuse of intellectual properties (IPs) in the form of reusable design or verification components. The book covers the essential issues associated with fast and effective integration of reusable design components into a system-on-a-chip (SoC) to achieve faster design turn-around time. Moreover, it addresses key factors related to the use of reusable verification IPs for a "write once, use many times" verification strategy - another effective approach that can attain a faster product design cycle.
