Direct Programming Interface (DPI) is a mechanism that allows System Verilog to call functions or tasks written in C/C++ and vice versa. DPI enables the integration of custom C/C++ code with System Verilog, facilitating advanced verification tasks that are difficult or inefficient to achieve purely in HDL. Key Features Lightweight interface. No need for PLI/VPI (Programming Language Interface/Verilog Procedural Interface). Simplified interaction between hardware design and software simulation environments. Importance of DPI in ASIC Verification Enhanced Verification Capabilities: DPI allows the use of existing C/C++ models or libraries for complex computations and data handling. Performance Optimization: Enables faster execution of time-consuming algorithms compared…
