    The Verification Academy is organized into a collection of free online courses, focusing on various key aspects of advanced functional verification. Each course consists of multiple sessions—allowing the participant to pick and choose specific topics of interest, as well as revisit any specific topics for future reference. After completing a specific course, the participant should be armed with enough knowledge to then understand the necessary steps required for maturing their own organization’s skills and infrastructure on the specific topic of interest. The Verification Academy will provide you with a unique opportunity to develop an understanding of how to mature your organization’s processes so that you can then reap the benefits that advanced functional verification offers.

INTRODUCTION

Formal verification is now pervasive in many chip design verification projects. Key to this widespread adoption is the availability of automated “apps” that makes it easy to deploy Formal in hitherto simulation-only projects. We at VerifWorks have a long history of formal deployment at many design houses and have seen the challenges engineers face while adopting the same. We have also trained hundreds of engineers to use Formal with ABV (Assertion-Based Verification) through CVC. Having such widespread experience in deploying Formal, our team has seen Formal becoming the “new normal” with many teams adopting it in their projects.

Some of the key enablers in Formal adoption are:

Availability of assertions/properties Identifying ...
