One of the biggest causes of this is increased electrification and the need for customized products. Adding features to cater to those needs requires redesigning critical components such as the FPGA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m your host, Joe Hupcey III, a Verification Product Technologist, and today I\u2019m joined by Harry Foster, Chief Scientist Verification at Siemens EDA. He is also the Co-Founder and Executive Editor of the Verification Academy. We\u2019ll be discussing the findings of the 2022 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this podcast episode, you\u2019ll learn about current trends in FPGA design and what is necessitating changes. You\u2019ll also learn about the impact of increased FPGA complexity on verification and production cost. Additionally, you\u2019ll hear about how FPGA projects are being impacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What You\u2019ll Learn in this Episode:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Some of the steps Harry took to minimize bias in his market research (03:53)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The overall drivers behind drivers&nbsp; growing FPGA complexity (05:50)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How adding processors impacts the verification effort (06:28)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why multiple clocking domains on FPGA present a problem (08:23)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/2022\/10\/16\/part-1-the-2020-wilson-research-group-functional-verification-study-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2022 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2022\/10\/Harry-Foster.jpg\" alt=\"Harry Foster\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Harry Foster<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p>Chief Scientist Verification \u2013 IC Verification Solutions, Siemens Digital Industry Software<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/harry-foster-19a41a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Harry on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2022\/10\/Joe-Hupcey.jpg\" alt=\"Joe Hupcey III\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Joe Hupcey III<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p>Verification Product Technologist, IC Verification Solutions, Siemens Digital Industry Software<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jhupcey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Joe on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Related links:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/where-today-meets-tomorrow\/eda-dvt-the-current-trends-in-fpga-verification-ep-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">2022 Wilson Research Study &#8211; ep 2<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Increased complexity is one of the biggest problems that manufacturers are currently dealing with.
