Debugging is one of the major challenges facing the semiconductor and chip design communities today. In a widely automated design process, debugging remains one of the few tasks that is predominantly performed manually. The consequence is bold and severe, as billions of dollars are lost across the industry every year as verification costs are exceeded and deadlines are missed. This book investigates the many different facets of debugging digital designs in contemporary verification environments.
