Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of large-scale integrated circuit technology, the number of gates in integrated circuits continues to increase, and accordingly, the logic scale of chips is becoming more and more complex. At the same time, the iteration speed of chip products is increasingly required. Therefore, before the chip is put on the market, it is necessary to conduct efficient simulation verification on each chip.
[0003] Since the inside of the chip is a complex system composed of multiple components, when verifying the chip, it may be necessary to verify the multiple components inside the chip separately. In the prior art, a hardware design description language is usually used to write the design to be tested corresponding to each component based on the chip design specification, and to write the corresponding reference model. Then, the verification platform is connected with the help of Universal Verification Methodology (UVM). After that, the verification platform inputs stimuli with certain constraints to the design to be tested and the reference model respectively to verify whether the design to be tested meets the chip design specifications.
[0004] However, since each different component has its own input and output signals, as well as constraints on the input signals, different components cannot share a verification environment. If the existing method is used, for each component in the chip, even if it is a reused component with a similar structure, it is necessary to build a corresponding verification environment for each component, which seriously affects the efficiency of the verification work. Therefore, how to achieve reused components of the same component type to share a verification environment and improve the verification efficiency of chip reused components is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0029] Embodiment 1
[0030] Figure 1 The flowchart of a verification environment generation method for a chip reuse component provided in the first embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the case of verifying a reuse component in a graphics processor chip. The method can be executed by a verification environment generation device for a chip reuse component. The verification environment generation device for a chip reuse component can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The verification environment generation device for a chip reuse component can be configured in an electronic device, and can be integrated in a computer device, for example. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0031] S110: Acquire a target reusable component in a target graphics processor chip, and determine a component type of the target reusable component and a target content corresponding to the target reusable component.
[0032] Among them, the target graphics processor chip may refer to a graphics processor (Graphics Processing Unit, GPU) chip whose internal components need to be verified. The target reused component may refer to certain components with similar structures in the target graphics processor chip. Usually, a graphics processor chip is composed of multi-level modules such as unit blocks, component modules, chip subsystems, and GPU intellectual property cores (Intellectual Property, IP), and the above-mentioned multi-level modules are usually composed of components of the same type. For example, there are multiple modules in the graphics processor chip that use arithmetic logic units (Arithmetic Logic Unit, ALU). Therefore, components that are used by multiple multi-level modules can be called reused components.
[0033] Among them, the component type may refer to the functional type corresponding to the target reuse component. Exemplarily, if the target reuse component is ALU, it can be known through the naming of ALU that the component type corresponding to the target reuse component is an arithmetic logic type. The target content may refer to the special part that needs to be extracted in the target reuse component. Exemplarily, if the target reuse component is ALU, the target content may be input and output signals, constraints of input signals, and functional coverage of input signals. Usually, the target content corresponding to the target reuse component needs to be determined according to the component type of the target reuse component. The target reuse components of different component types may have different corresponding target contents, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0034] S120. Determine a target verification environment template according to the component type of the target reusable component; wherein the target verification environment template includes a target keyword.
[0035] Among them, the target verification environment template may refer to a verification template determined according to the component type of the target reuse component. The target verification environment template can be used to make the final verification environment meet the verification requirements of the target reuse component. It is worth noting that the target verification environment template can always include sub-templates that implement various functions. Exemplarily, if the target reuse component is ALU, the target verification environment template may include a driver template, a monitor template, a comparator template, a direct programming interface (DPI) template, a report generator template, and an excitation signal generator template.
[0036] The target keyword may refer to the identifier that needs to be left blank in each sub-template of the target verification environment template. Since reused components of the same component type cannot share code in the target content part, the part representing the target content in each sub-template of the target verification environment template needs to be left blank to facilitate the subsequent generation of the verification environment.
[0037] For example, if the target reuse component is an ALU, keywords KEYWORD__INPUT_1 and KEYWORD_INPUT_2 may be added to the location where the target content is recorded in the driver template. Keywords KEYWORD_CONSTRAINT_1 and KEYWORD_CONSTRAINT_2 may be added to the location where the target content is recorded in the stimulus signal generator template. And keywords KEYWORD_COVERGROUP_1 and KEYWORD_COVERGROUP_2 may be added to the location where the target content is recorded in the monitor template.
[0038] S130: Integrate the target keywords and target content through a verification environment generator to generate a target verification environment corresponding to the target reuse component.
[0039] The verification environment generator may refer to a device that integrates target keywords and target content. Generally, reused components of the same component type may share the same verification environment generator. The target verification environment may refer to the verification environment corresponding to the target reused component.
[0040] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention determines a target verification environment template containing target keywords according to the component type of the target reuse component in the target graphics processor chip; then, integrates the target keywords and the target content corresponding to the target reuse component through a verification environment generator to generate a target verification environment corresponding to the target reuse component, thereby solving the problem of low verification efficiency of chip reuse components, enabling reuse components of the same component type to share a verification environment, and improving the verification efficiency of chip reuse components.
[0041] Embodiment 2
[0042] Figure 2 A flowchart of a verification environment generation method for a chip reuse component provided in the second embodiment of the present invention is provided. This embodiment is refined based on the above-mentioned embodiment. In this embodiment, the operation of integrating the target keywords and target content through a verification environment generator to generate a target verification environment corresponding to the target reuse component is specifically refined. Specifically, it may include: determining the matching content in the target content according to the target keywords in the target verification environment template through the verification environment generator; filling the matching content into the corresponding position of the target keyword in the target verification environment template through the verification environment generator to generate a target verification environment corresponding to the target reuse component. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:
[0043] S210: Acquire a target reusable component in a target graphics processor chip, and determine a component type of the target reusable component.
[0044] Specifically, the target graphics processor chip that needs to be verified and the target reused component in the target graphics processor chip that needs to be verified can be determined according to actual engineering requirements, and the component type of the target reused component can be determined.
[0045] S220: Acquire a target reusable component and a candidate reusable component of the same component type as the target reusable component.
[0046] The candidate reuse component may refer to a reuse component of the same component type as the target reuse component in the target GPU chip. For example, if the target reuse component is ALU1 in the target GPU chip, the candidate reuse component may be ALU2 in the target GPU chip.
[0047] S230: Obtain the difference content between the target reuse component and the candidate reuse component as the target content.
[0048] The difference content may refer to the content having a numerical difference between the target reuse component and the candidate reuse component.
[0049] Specifically, if the target reuse component is ALU1 and the selected reuse component is ALU2, the input and output signals, the constraints of the input signals and the functional coverage of the input signals can be used as the difference content, and the input and output signals corresponding to the target reuse component ALU1: INPUT_1, INPUT_2, OUTPUT_1 and OUTPUT_2, the constraints of the input signals: CONSTRAINT_1, CONSTRAINT_2 and CONSTRAINT_3 and the functional coverage of the input signals: COVERGROUP_1, COVERGROUP_2 and COVERGROUP_3 can be used as the target content.
[0050] It is worth noting that a target content keyword template may also be established according to the component type of the target reused component, and then the target content corresponding to the target reused component may be directly matched, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
[0051] S240. Determine a target verification environment template according to the component type of the target reusable component; wherein the target verification environment template includes a target keyword.
[0052] Specifically, after determining the component type of the target reused component, a corresponding target environment verification template may be matched according to the component type, thereby providing an effective basis for subsequent operations.
[0053] S250: Determine matching content in the target content according to the target keywords in the target verification environment template through the verification environment generator.
[0054] The matching content may refer to information corresponding to the target keyword in the target content. For example, if the target keyword is KEYWORD_COVERGROUP_1 in the monitor template, the matching content in the target content may be COVERGROUP_1 in the function coverage of the input signal.
[0055] In an optional embodiment, determining matching content in the target content based on target keywords in the target verification environment template through a verification environment generator may include: matching the target keywords in the target verification environment template through a verification environment generator, and determining matching content in the target content corresponding to the target keywords based on the target keywords.
[0056] Specifically, the verification environment generator can read the content in the target verification environment template, and grab each target keyword in the target verification environment template, and then determine the matching content in the target content according to the keyword. Therefore, the target verification environment template can be used to match the matching content in the target reused component, which improves the content extraction efficiency of the reused components of the same component type and provides an effective basis for subsequent operations.
[0057] S260: Fill the matching content into the corresponding position of the target keyword in the target verification environment template through the verification environment generator to generate a target verification environment corresponding to the target reuse component.
[0058] Specifically, after the target keyword is captured, the matching content corresponding to the target keyword in the target signal can be filled into the target verification environment template. Exemplarily, the input and output signals INPUT_1, INPUT_2, OUTPUT_1 and OUTPUT_2 in the target content are filled into the driver template, the constraints CONSTRAINT_1, CONSTRAINT_2 and CONSTRAINT_3 of the input signal are added to the stimulus signal generator template, and the functional coverage of the input signal COVERGROUP_1, COVERGROUP_2 and COVERGROUP_3 are filled into the monitor template. Thus, the target verification environment corresponding to the target reuse component is generated.
[0059] S270, triggering the execution of the target verification environment to implement verification of the target reused component; wherein the target verification environment includes: a signal generator, a driver, a monitor, a comparator, a report generator and an excitation signal generator.
[0060] Among them, the signal generator may refer to a device that generates an input signal corresponding to the target reuse component. The driver may refer to a device that injects the input signal generated by the signal generator into the test code corresponding to the target reuse component and the reference model corresponding to the target reuse component. The monitor may refer to a device that monitors the output signal. The comparator may refer to a device that compares the output signal of the test code corresponding to the target reuse component with the output signal of the reference model corresponding to the target reuse component. The report generator may refer to a device that generates a verification report based on the comparison result of the comparator. The stimulus signal generator may refer to a device that generates constraint conditions corresponding to the input signal.
[0061] In an optional embodiment, the triggering and executing of the target verification environment to realize the verification of the target reuse component may include: triggering and executing the target verification environment, obtaining the data signal matching the target reuse component through the driver, and transmitting it to the target reuse component and the target reference model; receiving the first output signal corresponding to the target reuse component and the second output signal corresponding to the target reference model through the monitor, and transmitting the first output signal and the second output signal to the comparator; comparing the first output signal and the second output signal through the comparator, generating a comparison result and transmitting the comparison result to the report generator; generating the verification result corresponding to the target reuse component through the report generator to realize the verification of the target reuse component.
[0062] The target reference model may refer to a model having the same functional implementation as the target reuse component. Usually, the target reference model is written in a different language than the target reuse component. The first output signal may refer to an output signal generated after the test code corresponding to the target reuse component receives an input signal. The second output signal may refer to an output signal generated after the target reference model receives an input signal.
[0063] Specifically, after generating the target verification environment corresponding to the target reuse component, a trigger debugging method can be used to obtain the input signal corresponding to the target reuse component through the driver, and inject the input signal into the test code corresponding to the target reuse component and the target reference model, and then, monitor the first output signal generated by the target reuse component when the input signal enters, and the second output signal output by the target reference model, and transmit the first output signal and the second output signal to the comparator, and further, compare the first output signal and the second output signal through the comparator, generate a comparison result and transmit the comparison result to the report generator, and finally, generate the verification result corresponding to the target reuse component through the report generator, exemplarily, if the comparison result is consistent, the verification result can be passed; if the comparison result is inconsistent, the verification result can be that the target reuse component has an abnormality or the target reference model has an abnormality. In this way, the verification of the target reuse component is achieved.
[0064] In an optional embodiment, before obtaining the data signal matching the target reuse component through the driver, it also includes: determining the constraint conditions corresponding to the target reuse component through an excitation signal generator; and generating a data signal corresponding to the target reuse component that satisfies the constraint conditions through a signal generator.
[0065] Specifically, before obtaining the data signal matching the target reuse component through the driver, it is necessary to first determine the constraint conditions of the input signal corresponding to the target reuse component through the excitation signal generator, and then generate the input signal that satisfies the constraint conditions corresponding to the target reuse component through the signal generator. Then, the input signal can be input into the target reuse component and the target reference model through the driver to complete the subsequent target reuse component verification process.
[0066] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention determines the target content by the difference content of the candidate reused component of the same component type as the target reused component, and then determines the target verification environment template according to the component type of the target reused component, and determines the matching content in the target content according to the target keyword in the target verification environment template through the verification environment generator, and then fills the matching content into the corresponding position of the target keyword in the target verification environment template through the verification environment generator to generate a target verification environment corresponding to the target reused component, and finally, triggers the execution of the target verification environment to realize the verification of the target reused component, which solves the problem of low verification efficiency of chip reused components, and can realize that reused components of the same component type share a verification environment, thereby improving the verification efficiency of chip reused components.
[0067] Figure 3 The flowchart of a verification environment generation method for an optional chip reuse component provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Specifically, first, the target reuse component in the target graphics processor chip is determined according to the actual engineering requirements, and the component type of the target reuse component is determined, and then, the candidate reuse component of the same component type as the target reuse component is determined, and the target content of the target reuse component is determined by the difference between the target reuse component and the candidate reuse component. At the same time, the target verification environment template is determined according to the component type of the target reuse component, and further, the target keyword in the target verification environment template is matched by the verification environment generator, and the matching content corresponding to the target keyword in the target content is determined according to the target keyword, and the matching content is filled into the corresponding position of the target keyword in the target verification environment template by the verification environment generator, so as to generate a target verification environment corresponding to the target reuse component.
