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 ...

High-level synthesis (HLS) is a design flow in which design intent is described at a higher level of abstraction than RTL, such as in SystemC/C++ or MATLAB. HLS tools are expected to synthesize this ...

本文是读《Formal Verification An Essential Toolkit for Modern VLSI Design》这本书第二章，做的学习笔记。 COMPARE SPECIFICATIONS 通常，我们会将spec和设计实现进行比较。Spec相对来说比较抽象些，可以是些SVA的assertion，RTL ...

Formal methods represent a rigorous suite of mathematical techniques designed to specify, develop and verify system models with a high degree of reliability. In system modelling, these methods provide ...

Verification of complex system-on-chip (SoC) designs, especially in the networking space, is an enormous challenge. Traditional simulation-based verification techniques are being pushed past their ...

The relentless increase in the number of transistors integrated on a single chip continues to take its toll on verification teams. Market pressures squeeze product ...

LONDON –– September 12, 2024 –– Axiomise, the industry leader in formal verification consulting, training and services, today launched its newest training course, "Essential Introduction to Practical ...

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 ...

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 ...

More processors on SoCs means more sophisticated cache control. This article describes formal techniques for verifying cache coherency for the ARM AMBA AXI Coherency Extensions (ACE) protocol. Fig 1.
