Driven by the need to objectively measure the progress of their verification efforts and the contributions of different verification techniques, IC designers have adopted coverage as a metric. However ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Korok Ray is a PhD economist/professor who researches/teaches Bitcoin. Formal verification is one of the more theoretical areas of ...
Contemporary system-on-chip (SoC) design demands the use of pre-existing intellectual property (IP). It is simply not practical to develop many millions of gates of new logic from scratch while ...
The first time I came into contact with the concepts of a digital hardware description language (HDL) and digital logic simulation, I inherently understood how it all “worked.” The idea that the ...
Formal verification associated with assertions is a well known approach to functional verification of SoC digital circuits. This technique bears several advantages over dynamic-based solutions, but ...
Over 50 engineers and engineering managers were surveyed at DAC 2009 by Jasper Design Automation as part of a market research and analysis program examining how designers use formal verification ...
WILSONVILLE, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced new formal-based technologies in the Questa ® Verification Platform that provide mainstream users with the ...
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 ...
