Aside from giving me a chance to work through my disappointment at the New England Patriots&#8217;s loss in the Super Bowl, this issue has many great articles on a variety of topics from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/fv\/verificationhorizons\/volume14\/issue1\/make-your-constraints-more-dynamic-portable-stimulus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Portable Stimulus<\/a>\u00a0to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/fv\/verificationhorizons\/volume14\/issue1\/part-1-pa-static-verification-power-intent-microarchitectural-checks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Power-Aware Static Verification<\/a>, writing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/fv\/verificationhorizons\/volume14\/issue1\/sva-alternative-for-complex-assertions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complex assertions<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/fv\/verificationhorizons\/volume14\/issue1\/a-hierarchical-and-configurable-strategy-to-verify-risc-v-based-socs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RISC-V verification strategies<\/a>. I&#8217;d particularly like to draw your attention to two articles about some of our Questa\u00ae Verification IP (QVIP) components.<\/p>\n<p>In &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/fv\/verificationhorizons\/volume14\/issue1\/configuring-mentory-read-completions-sent-by-pcie-qvip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Configuring Memory Read Completions Sent by PCIe\u00ae QVIP<\/a>,&#8221; you&#8217;ll get a great overview of the PCIe read request protocol and see how Mentor&#8217;s PCIe QVIP component is flexible enough to handle all variations of the protocol to suit the needs of your particular environment. In &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/fv\/verificationhorizons\/volume14\/issue1\/sata-specification-3-3-gaps-filled-by-sata-qvip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SATA Specification 3.3 Gaps Filled by SATA QVIP<\/a>,&#8221; you&#8217;ll\u00a0learn how a robustly-designed verification component can fill the gap when even the protocol spec itself has some issues. After an overview of the SATA protocol and an explanation of these gaps, you&#8217;ll see how the SATA QVIP component addresses each of the gaps to allow you to design an efficient implementation of the protocol.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you&#8217;ll enjoy reading all of these great articles and I know you&#8217;ll learn a thing or two from them. That&#8217;s our goal, after all, in bringing this newsletter to you.
