Breker Verification Systems Launches Unique RISC-V TrekApp for Automated, High-Coverage System Integration Test Suite Synthesis
/by becbrekDeveloped with SiFive to Address RISC-V System Integration Validation; Generates High-Impact SoC Verification Test Suite with Minimal Manual Effort
SAN JOSE, CALIF. –– December 10, 2019 –– Breker Verification Systems, the leading provider of Test Suite Synthesis tools based on the Portable Stimulus Standard (PSS), today introduced its RISC-V TrekApp, a complete, automated test content generator for RISC-V system integration testing.
RISC-V TrekApp, the first solution to address the entire RISC-V system-on-chip (SoC) system integration problem, targets complex verification challenges and increases coverage by executing unpredictable corner-case scenarios without the need for manually developed test content. The TrekApp works with existing universal verification methodology (UVM) and SoC verification environments and does not require the user to learn the PSS language.
“RISC-V excels in enabling new and innovative designs, creating verification opportunities for system integration,” remarks Adnan Hamid, Breker’s president and chief executive officer. “Breker’s RISC-V TrekApp builds on our success with other processors to fully automate this intensive task while allowing for the distinctiveness created by RISC-V, saving hours of laborious test development while increasing coverage.”

Breker Verification Systems Unveils Intelligent Regression Optimization Solution to Accelerate Simulation, Emulation Execution
/by becbrekNew Efficiency Features Include Intelligent Coverage Targeting, Pre-Solve/Compile Test Application, RapidFire Test Scheduling
SAN JOSE, CALIF. –– September 24, 2019 –– Breker Verification Systems, the leading provider of Portable Stimulus Standard (PSS)-compliant software, today announced its PSS-based Test Suite Synthesis includes a set of new efficiency features including Intelligent Coverage Targeting, Pre-Solve/Pre-Compile Test Application and RapidFire™ Test Scheduling.
The combination of efficiency features bundled into Breker’s Intelligent Regression Optimization Solution on average saves 75% or more in execution time. Some emulation runtimes improve by an order of magnitude with the tool.
“As SoC verification solutions evolve, significant inefficiencies emerge that impact performance and achievable coverage,” observes Adnan Hamid, Breker’s president and chief executive officer. “Test Suite Synthesis provides the opportunity to correct these. It leverages coverage specifics to drive test production, avoids emulation testbench compilation and random solving during execution, and batches test sets together while eliminating redundant startup procedures.”
