The book provides a high-level overview of the design and verification cycle of a modern processor, starting from the early design phases, to prototype manufacturing and testing and to product release. In the second chapter they explore each of the three major phases of the verification universe: pre-silicon verification,post-silicon validation and runtime techniques. For each phase, they discuss several key solutions and investigate their main advantages and drawbacks. Most importantly,the authors compare performance and coverage of verification methods across different phases, making the case for functional post-silicon and runtime verification techniques.
