Debug Workshops Keep You Up to Speed
Design complexity is increasing, which makes isolating design errors a challenging and time-consuming task. Larger chip size, the use of third-party intellectual property, reuse of unfamiliar designs, and today's diversified and dispersed design teams all make it more difficult to understand, verify and debug your chip designs.
Novas Debug Workshops are designed to enhance
and streamline your bug-finding methods and expertise. These
highly focused hands-on sessions will 
introduce you to the power of
behavior-based debug and show you how our unique systems go way
beyond waveforms to solve the problems you face when tracking
down the root cause of verification failures or figuring out
how unfamiliar designs work. The Debug Workshops show even
experienced engineers how to get the most out of the Novas
software they use every day by revealing time-saving short cuts
and advanced features and functionality.
In these Debug Workshops, you'll see how to apply the latest enhancements of the Debussy® and Verdi™ Debug Systems, including the use of testbench and assertion languages. You'll also learn about important design and verification techniques such as assertion-driven debug, knowledge reuse and other emerging methodologies.
You'll leave these workshops much better equipped to rapidly understand your complex and unfamiliar designs, so you can quickly figure out how your designs work or why they don't. The result is that you'll discover new ways to maximize design productivity and minimize the time spent doing debug - time that is much better spent on the creative, value-added aspects of the design process.

Designed to Meet Your Requirements
Novas' Debug Workshops are:
- Customized for your team's specific needs and experience level
- Hands-on experiences, not just demo drives
- Focused on debug methodologies, not just how to run a tool
- Based on your actual design problems (or we can provide design examples)
- Limited to a small number of attendees, usually no more than 10
- As long or short as you need - from 1 hour to 8 hours
- Conducted at your location, at your convenience
Among the topics covered in the Debug Workshops are:
- Exploring unfamiliar IP for better integration
- Tracing the causes of design behavior for faster debug
- Finding the causes of Xs in simulation automatically
- Using one debug platform for all your verification tools
- Determining how values got in memory
- Figuring out the causes of timing issues
- Making late-stage netlist changes quickly and simply
