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 ...

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 ...

Why is it still so hard to ensure good quality sign-off happens without leaving behind bugs in silicon? The answer, according to my colleagues at DVCon, is highly nuanced. The industry has been ...

Formal verification has traditionally been regarded as an advanced technique for experts to thoroughly verify individual blocks of logic, or perhaps small clusters of blocks. However, if you talk to ...

Why testing alone cannot assure correctness in complex safety-critical software, and how edge cases and undefined behavior are able to evade validation efforts. How formal verification is used to ...

Formal property verification (FPV) is increasingly being used to complement simulation for system-on-chip (SoC) verification. Adding FPV to your verification flow can greatly accelerate verification ...
