Abstract
While hardware generators have drastically improved design productivity, they have introduced new challenges for the task of verification. To effectively cover the functionality of a sophisticated generator, verification engineers require tools that provide the flexibility of metaprogramming. However, flexibility alone is not enough; components must also be portable in order to encourage the proliferation of verification libraries as well as enable new methodologies. This paper introduces fault, a Python embedded hardware verification language that aims to empower design teams to realize the full potential of generators.
