1.4.1. Simulation

Intel® performs the following tests on the HMC Controller IP core in simulation, using the Micron HMC BFM:

  • Constrained random tests that cover randomized legal payload sizes and contents
  • Assertion based tests to confirm proper behavior of the IP core with respect to the specification
  • Extensive coverage of packet retry functionality

Constrained random techniques generate appropriate stimulus for the functional verification of the IP core. Intel monitors line, expression, and assertion coverage metrics to ensure that all important features are verified.
