The year 2020 was a unique year across the globe. Throughout the year, we experienced many ups and downs, saw many innovations, felt a need for better networking and technology, and hence, an astounding boom in the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) domain.

On these very lines, Virtuoso ADE Verifier continued its upward spiral of growth by improving in terms of performance, usability, and new features to meet as well as improve your verification needs. And then In the Line of Veri-Fire came to life! Looking back, the reason we introduced the In the Line of Veri-Fire mini-series was to help you learn and adopt some very useful features that Virtuoso ADE Verifier supports today that can help you gain tremendous performance and productivity gains. 

These blogs talk about the best approach to get started with Virtuoso ADE Verifier and provide a sneak peek into the various benefits of the tool as well as the ideal size of groups and the industries that can use it to their advantage. While you get to know how to interpret technical jargon, as well as know about the new features introduced for a specific release, you also get to know the advantages of using Virtuoso ADE Verifier, as opposed to traditional verification tools. A few areas that we have also touched upon are command-line usage, set up of simulation resources, "What If" analysis, and analog coverage in Virtuoso ADE Verifier.
