Abstract
This paper presents an overview on how the zSeries eServer z900 system has been functionally verified. It describes the hierarchical structure of verification, starting with designer simulation, unit-simulation, chip-simulation up to system simulation. For each step, the tools, methods and goals of verification are described. It also presents a description of the IT environment used at the different levels of verification, especially of dedicated simulation hardware like accelerator and emulator machines used for system simulation and hardware/software co-verification.
