Adopting Formal Verification: Insights from a DV Team

Nilabja Chattopadhyay, Design Verification Manager at Amazon, details how his primarily simulation-based verification team benefited from using VC Formal apps like FPV, SEQ, DPV, and FRV. This approach revolutionized their process and culminated in the impressive verification of FP16 in under 8 weeks.


Using Formal Datapath Validation to Verify 草榴社区 IP

草榴社区 VC Formal DPV is not only used by leading companies designing CPU, GPU, AI/ML chips, it has also been used by 草榴社区’ own 草榴社区 Group to verify IP blocks and foundation cores since 2006. It is truly the golden standard of datapath verification tool in the industry.


Helping Management Understand Formal Progress Through Performance Indicators

Amber Telfer, Principal Engineer at Microsoft, discusses what formal performance indicators are and how they help management understand the progress made in your formal verification projects. Watch this video to learn how to use performance indicators to make your own formal work count.


Scaling Up Formal Unreachability Analysis for Coverage Closure

Luv Sampat, Sr. Formal Verification Engineer at Qualcomm, discusses why it is important to reach 100% coverage closure and how 草榴社区 VC Formal’s FCA auto-scale technology has helped him solve coverage closure challenges.


RISC-V Formal Verification and Clock Gating Signoff

Shaun Feng, Senior Principle Engineer at SiFive, explains what clock gating signoff means, why it is important, how designers can help, and whether RISC-V formal verification is different from other CPU formal verification methodologies.
