Overview

In constrained random simulation, the main workhorse in modern hardware verification flows, input stimuli are randomly generated to satisfy a set of declaratively specified input constraints. These stimuli are then applied to validate given design properties by simulation.

The efficiency of the overall verification flow depends critically on two factors:
