I was part of CPU subsystem group which delivers ARM based subsystem to SOC group. This CPU subsystem is based on ARM big.LITTLE processing is a power-optimization technology where high-performance ARM CPU cores are combined with the most efficient ARM CPU cores to deliver peak-performance capacity, higher sustained performance .
Worked on ARM V8 based CPU subsystem which involves verification of ARM Debug components(CTI and CTM,. DEBUG) and Multi Cluster Coherency testing. Verification of Tightly coupled memory using SV/UVM Environment. Code coverage analysis and closure.
