Description

Simulation test case generation method, system, storage medium and terminal
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit function verification, in particular to a simulation test case generation method, a system, a storage medium and a terminal.
Background
Simulation verification is an important means of chip design function verification. The first step in simulation verification is the generation of test cases. The conventional test case generation method is to manually generate test cases for each specification according to a design specification manual, and the test cases satisfy a certain coverage requirement, for example, a certain ratio of design codes must be run in the test. Manually generating all test cases is both time consuming and error prone, and often fails to meet the specified coverage requirements.
Constraint-based test case generation is more common in modern simulation testing, such as the UVM method in SystemVerilog. The advantage is that test cases do not need to be generated piece by piece. But it is a time consuming task to have to build constraints in advance that meet design specifications. The coverage rate must be improved by debugging the constraint at a later stage.
Since the difficulty of functional verification increases exponentially with the design scale in theory, it takes up 70% of the entire chip design process. As simulation of an important means of functional verification, the coverage rate of the method is improved as much as possible by an early manual scheme or a constraint-based scheme, or is compensated by a form verification technology at the later stage, so that the method is a relatively time-consuming and non-automatic process. The generation of the automated simulated overlay test will greatly improve the efficiency of the design verification and even the overall design process.

Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made apparent and fully understood from the accompanying drawings, in which some, but not all embodiments of the invention are shown. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
In addition, the technical features of the different embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not collide with each other.
Example 1
Embodiment 1 provides a simulation test case generation method for realizing automatic generation, coverage rate simulation detection and subsequent analysis of a simulation test case. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes the steps of:
s1: constraints based on design input specifications are set.
Wherein, compared with the constraint in the test case row generating process, the method adopts the constraint based on the design input end specification. Constraints in the test case string generation process are often for a certain class of test, while different constraints are required for different classes of test.
S2: the design to be verified is read in.
Typically, the design includes any chip design content, such as a CPU, GPU, embedded controller, and the like. While chip designs are typically described in a hardware design language, such as SystemVerilog, VHDL.
In the present embodiment, however, the design is verified by the EDA tool for the verified design.
S3: analyzing the design, and extracting key signals and corresponding state machines of the design.
Wherein, in a preferred scheme of the present embodiment, the default conditions of the key signal include one or more of the following conditions: the state signal, the first-in first-out control signal, the instruction pointer, the state memory and the bus with the width exceeding a certain value of the state machine in one design are adopted.
In addition, the user can specify any signal of interest to him and set the threshold for the broadband of the bus.
After extracting the key signals, the state machine may then be extracted through structural analysis or logic analysis of the netlist.
In a preferred aspect of this embodiment, after this step, the method further includes:
s3': the user may delete a portion of the key signal and corresponding state machine and/or add more key signals and corresponding state machines.
S4: generating corresponding reachability attributes for the state machine;
in this step the state machine attributes are then automatically generated, as in fig. 2, and the state machine attributes are divided into three categories: the reachability of the state, the reachability of the state transition, and finally the stateless deadlock.
Fig. 2 is an example of an arbiter, with four states representing possible combinations of two key signals Ack0 and Robin in the arbiter. For example, state 10 represents Ack0 as 1 and robin as 0. The arrow marked d represents the transition from state 10 to state 00, i.e., the state machine enters the 00 state when state 10 and the input is d.
That is, in this example, each state in FIG. 2 corresponds to a state reachable and deadlock free attribute, while each transition (an arrow) corresponds to a transition reachable attribute.
In addition, as shown in fig. 1, after this step, a new coverage attribute determination step is preferably included.
Specifically, since the automatic generation in step S4 is a loop process, the initial coverage attribute is generated by the key signal state machine. Reachability attributes generate simulation cases, and unreachable attributes are accumulated in a pool of unreachable attributes. After the simulation is driven with the simulation cases generated in step S7 and the simulation coverage is collected, the coverage hole is used to regenerate coverage properties, which are first compared with the unreachable properties library, and if included, are not new coverage properties. And the new overlay attribute is validated in form and a second cycle (i.e., the contents of step S7) is performed.
S5: formal verification of the design, the constraints, and the reachability attributes; wherein reachable reachability attributes are used to generate test cases and unreachable reachability attributes are used to correct coverage criteria.
Specifically, in the formal verification method, when a reachability attribute is verified (reachability is established) and a deadlock-free (a particular reachability) attribute is verified, the verification algorithm automatically generates a set of input signal sequences that, when driving the design to be verified in sequence, bring the design from its initial state to the state described by the reachability attribute (or, for the deadlock-free attribute, to a state loop, forming a deadlock). This is a simulation process and the set of signals is also referred to as simulated test cases.
That is, both for the case where reachability is proven and the case where no status deadlock is witnessed, the automatic generation of test cases for witnessing these proofs (i.e. any of the three classes containing the state machine attributes mentioned in step S4) will be triggered.
S6: minimizing the generated test cases includes removing input signals from the test cases that are not related to both the reachability attribute and the constraints and/or removing duplicate test cases.
Each test case optimized by the step can be randomly assigned to a plurality of tests due to possible unassigned inputs, so that a case can be applied for a plurality of times due to the random selection of design inputs, thereby achieving larger coverage rate.
S7: simulating the test case after the minimization operation and calculating the simulation coverage rate; and after the overlay attribute is regenerated for the simulated loophole and the unreachable attribute, the overlay attribute is analyzed by adopting form verification (returning to the step S4).
Reverse reachability attributes of vulnerabilities and inaccessibility, which are demonstrated by an analytical instant form verification method. As with the previous reachability attribute verification results, one class of reachability is verified and a third class of reachability is verified, and the formal verification tool can generate test cases to cover these vulnerabilities.
Example 2
The embodiment provides a simulation test case generation system, which has the same inventive concept as that of embodiment 1 and is used for realizing automatic generation, coverage rate simulation detection and subsequent analysis of simulation test cases.

and (3) a simulation module: simulating the test case after the minimization operation and calculating the simulation coverage rate;
