Hello Dear Readers, Today in this post, I will provide some deep insight about yaml langauge for CAD flow developments with detailed examples. YAML is not a programming language in the same sense as Python, Tcl, C++, or Verilog. It is primarily a human-readable data serialization/configuration language . In semiconductor EDA, that distinction is important because YAML generally describes what a flow should do , while Python/Tcl/Shell and the EDA tools execute the flow . The official YAML specification describes it as a data serialization language designed to be human-friendly and portable across programming languages. For the semiconductor angle, this becomes particularly interesting because YAML can act as a configuration layer between design methodology and EDA implementation . Frameworks such as Hammer explicitly use YAML/JSON configuration and an intermediate representation to standardize information exchanged between design, technology, and tool plugins. 1.

Hello Dear Readers, Currently, at MIPS India vacancy for a Verification Engineer or Senior Verification Engineer SOC role. We are seeking an experienced Verification Engineer or Senior Verification Engineer SOC. This position involves extensive hands-on experience with CPU verification using industry-standard functional verification methodologies, formal verification, and constrained random generators, and reference model-based checkers. The candidate must be able to take critical decisions and completely own verification closure for a block or feature. This position involves cross-functional interaction with CPU designers and architects and working across sites to ensure high-quality CPU designs for customers. You will: Take full ownership and drive verification efforts to closure Work closely with designers and architects to understand specifications at unit/top level Understand use cases and develop functional test plans Develop directed tests written in C, Assembly, and System...
