Design verification continues to consume the majority of engineering resources on today's ASIC and SOC design projects. Functional verification at the Register Transfer (RT) level, the process of ...
As digital systems become increasingly complex, traditional simulation-based verification is straining under the weight of exhaustive verification demands. While simulation remains a fundamental tool ...
Experts at the table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss advances in formal verification tools and methodologies with Ashish Darbari, CEO for Axiomise; Jin Zhang, product management group ...
Formal verification, which uses mathematical analysis rather than simulation tests, has been available in commercial EDA tools for more than 20 years and in academia much longer. As with many new ...
“Signoff” may be the most exciting—and frightening—word in semiconductor development. After many months, or even years of team effort, committing a design to silicon fabrication is indeed an exciting ...
The openness of RISC-V allows customizing and extending the architecture and microarchitecture of a RISC-V based core to meet specific requirements. This appetite for more design freedom is also ...
Formal verification is an automatic checking methodology that catches many common design errors and can uncover ambiguities in the design. Formal verification is the process of verifying the ...
How formal verification is able to find bugs before signoff. Formal verification’s ability to mathematically prove exhaustively that a chip design meets a set of assertions. Formal techniques are ...
