Post-Silicon Validating an MMU. Innovation in Verification
A recent IBM paper extends post‑silicon validation to the memory management unit (MMU) using Cadence’s Threadmill bare‑metal exerciser. The method generates multi‑threaded, constraint‑driven tests that run indefinitely on first silicon, stressing TLB walks, page‑table updates, context switches and migrations. In silicon, it uncovered three deep‑corner‑case bugs that pre‑silicon verification missed and delivered roughly a 4% uplift in RTL coverage versus prior exercisers. The work demonstrates how randomized post‑silicon testing can explore state spaces far beyond RTL simulation.
