Rapid adoption and revenue growth in the hardware-assisted verification market segment was especially apparent in 2022 as verification and validation costs soared, a result of IC/SoC complexity. Justification for hardware-assisted verification tools was not questioned.
Moving into 2023, everything indicates a continued trend. The year bodes well as hardware-assisted verification solutions become more fully integrated into verification and validation environments while serving two distinct parallel tracks. One track is hardware and the other is software.
The hardware track plays to hardware designers who want hardware-assisted verification solutions to address three significant challenges. The first being hardware emulation for compilation and debug of large, 12-billion gate or more designs.
