ARCHITECTURE SPECIFIC CODE

Exemplary techniques for utilizing architecture specific code are described. In a described embodiment, a method comprises storing architecture specific design verification code in a plurality of architecture specific code libraries. Each of the architecture specific code libraries corresponds to a select generation of architecture. The method further verifies a design of the select architecture by utilizing a corresponding architecture specific code library from the plurality of architecture specific code libraries and a non-architecture specific code library. The non-architecture specific code library corresponds to at least two different generations of the architecture.
