    • 1 Edición
    • Erik Seligman + 2 más
    • Inglés
    Formal Verification (FV) has become an essential technology in the verification of IP, core, or SOC design. The authors' previous book, “Formal Verification: An Essential Toolkit for Modern VLSI Design”, offered the definitive guide to design and validation, with advice to help working engineers integrate these techniques into their work. However, understanding the technology is only the beginning: to really use FV effectively, there are many practical considerations in creating effective testbenches. It’s important to use the right formal tools depending on the preferred design style, project phase, and verification goals. Formal Verification Testbenches: Using Patterns for Reusable and Repeatable VLSI Design Quality is designed to provide that guidance, to assist the transition from initial FV usage to FV being the main workhorse of the validation flow. In addition to describing general principles of FV testbench development that apply to any design style, the book takes a deep dive into real testbenches for specific examples: arbiters, sequence controllers, memory controllers, fsm-heavy control blocks, clock gating designs, and dot-product accumulate blocks. It also highlights new opportunities within the field, for example using AI to plan and execute FV. Formal Verification Testbenches: Using Patterns for Reusable and Repeatable VLSI Design Quality enables a design team to confidently plan and execute a project whose primary validation method will be formal verification.

  • Large-Scale Control of Wall Turbulence

    • 1 Edición
    • Jie Yao + 1 más
    • Inglés
    Large-Scale Control of Wall Turbulence synthesizes and interprets research on large scale drag control. In particular, the book looks at the underlying, physical mechanisms of large-scale control, especially focusing on an investigation of coherent structures and the statistical approach through momentum flux and energy flux. In the presence of a solid wall, the flow, and thus turbulence, is directly influenced. As reduction of wall turbulence is of great significance for energy saving and environmental protection, this book provides the latest information on a variety of key considerations.Numer... drag control strategies have been proposed and explored during recent decades, the vast majority of which concentrate on near-wall coherent structures, which can result in significant drag reductions at low Reynolds numbers. However, whether these drag control methods can continue to be effective at high Reynolds numbers remains unresolved. This question is crucial because the flow physics involved in drag reduction changes at high Reynolds numbers (because the contribution of large-scale structures to the skin friction grows with the Reynolds number).
