Predictable and Scalable End-to-End Formal Verification

Article - Mar 03, 2021 by Dr. Ashish Darbari

In this article, we discuss why formal verification adoption has been limited in industry, and how abstraction-based methodology in formal verification can help DV engineers become successful in adopting formal property checking more widely. Abstraction is the key to obtaining scalability and predictability. It provides an efficient bug-hunting technique and helps in establishing exhaustive proof convergence.

Increasing Functional Coverage by Automation for Zetta-Hz High Speed CDMA Transceiver

Article - Oct 26, 2020 by Karthik Bandaru, Priyanka Gharat, and Sastry Puranapanda - Silicon Interfaces®

The efforts to apply constrained randomization to create test cases is based on the developer or verification engineer’s perception of what test vectors are required and can easily lead to hidden bugs being overlooked. Traditionally, the coverage goals would have been reached by writing more test cases with unpredictable schedules, often impacting time-to-market goals. Functional coverage defines critical states and constrained randomization tests those states in unpredictable ways.
