Formal 101 – Exhaustive Scoreboarding and Data Integrity Verification Made Easy
Verifying the correct passage of data through a DUT in constrained-random simulation is easy to do for basic I/O cases – data loss, obvious corruption, and 1-1 data passage. But what about verifying out-of-order cases? Or intermittently dropped bytes? Granted, a testbench can be written to look out for these issues, but as the layers… Read More »Formal 101 – Exhaustive Scoreboarding and Data Integrity Verification Made Easy
Addressing Growing Security Challenges with JasperGold
Join Cadence® Training and Product Engineering Architect Joerg Mueller and Senior Application Engineer Tom Weiss for this free technical training webinar. As a chip designer, you’re probably spending as much headspace on security threats as you are on traditional challenges like power, speed, and functionality. Recent microarchitectural vulnerabilities like “Meltdown” and “Row Hammer” that expose… Read More »Addressing Growing Security Challenges with JasperGold

Early and Accelerated SoC Connectivity Verification using VC Formal Connectivity Checking App
Complex bus protocols, increased on-chip functionalities, coupled with limited shared I/O resources, result in complex wiring connections in SoCs with numerous muxing schemes. Simulation and structural analysis approaches require huge effort and may lead to bug escapes making them inefficient for SoC connectivity verification. Connectivity verification using formal techniques is exhaustive and helps making… Read More »Early and Accelerated SoC Connectivity Verification using VC Formal Connectivity Checking App
Formal Verification for non-specialists
Is formal verification ready for general use or do you need a PhD to use it? Larger companies continue to recruit formal PhDs into their verification teams while other less-qualified engineers seem reluctant to go beyond simplified formal "apps". So, what is the truth of the matter? Can non-specialist engineers become productive with formal? In… Read More »Formal Verification for non-specialists
Writing C/C++ Models for Efficient Datapath Validation Using VC Formal DPV
Wednesday, May 18, 2022 | 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. Pacific AI, Graphics, CPU, and many modern designs have arithmetic intensive blocks that are hard to verify with traditional techniques. Synopsys VC Formal DPV (Datapath Validation) has been the industry's golden standard to get closure on datapath verification. In this Synopsys webinar, we will discuss why… Read More »Writing C/C++ Models for Efficient Datapath Validation Using VC Formal DPV
Dealing with Inconclusive Formal Proofs
Formal proofs of end-to-end properties can be a very valuable contribution to RTL sign-off and yet are often the most difficult to achieve. In this webinar Doulos Senior Member Technical Staff, Doug Smith will explore some practical ways of dealing with inconclusive formal proofs when using the Jasper Formal Verification Platform by Cadence. This includes the use of… Read More »Dealing with Inconclusive Formal Proofs
Using Formal Datapath Validation to Verify AI Processor Computations
For over a decade, CPU and GPU design companies have been using Synopsys VC Formal Datapath Validation (DPV) app with its HECTOR™ technology to verify their data processing elements because traditional verification methods cannot exhaustively verify the correctness of mathematical computations in these designs. Like CPUs and GPUs, AI processors are also datapath heavy with… Read More »Using Formal Datapath Validation to Verify AI Processor Computations
Formal Verification for Non-Specialists
Is formal verification ready for general use or do you need a PhD to use it? Larger companies continue to recruit formal PhDs into their verification teams while other less-well-qualified engineers seem reluctant to go beyond simplified formal "apps". So, what is the truth of the matter? Can non-specialist engineers become productive with formal? In this webinar… Read More »Formal Verification for Non-Specialists
