TEST AUTOMATION ON PRE-SILICON ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Empowering SW environment by early enabling the software before the Power-On crosswise over Servers,
Clients and Devices. and testing of basic benchmarks, programming workloads, Key Performance Indicators on the PreSilicon frameworks to empower "Product release capability" by control on by utilizing Shit-Left system. One of the ways
to achieve this goal is to enable automation and continuous integration in the pre-silicon development/validation phase.
The way to secure this goal is by initiating some of the activities in Pre-silicon phase. Automate the various software
workloads and benchmark release’s run on simulated SOC’s enabling software stack to adapt to upcoming processors,
and SOC’s Connect the simulated environment to existing post-silicon to an automated environment. The intention of test
automation on pre-silicon environment is having a scope in enhancing the time to bring up the mature silicon SOC’s to
the market which is an important activity, due to fact of change in market dynamics. The automation framework that will
reduce the timeframe of environment setup and execution of the workloads. The function of automation framework will
be to use technology to efficiently in order align to the shit-left strategy, The objective of pre-silicon validation is to
verify and validate the correctness of design before the power on could happen and bridge a gap between pre-silicon and
post silicon, thereby providing fast and accurate platforms.
