With 68% of the ASICs going through respins and 83% of the FPGA designs failing the first time around, verification poses interesting challenges. It’s also not a secret that nearly 60-70% of the cost ...

Formal verification has come a long way in the past five years as it focused on narrow tasks within the verification flow. Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss that progress, and the future ...

Collaboration milestone addresses key pain points of typical design verification (DV) approaches, improving confidence while reducing cost, time, and resource spend CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, Feb. 10, ...

Formal specification languages have been used mostly to prove mathematically that a program or module is correct, or to automatically construct a correct program. In both cases, a high-level ...

Despite becoming one of the most widely used programming languages on the Web, PHP didn’t have a formal specification—until now. The developers who oversee the language, including engineers from ...

Connectivity checking is a popular formal verification application. Formal tools can automatically generate assertions using a specification table as input and prove them exhaustively.

Although the PHP scripting language has been around since 1995 and is a staple of Web development, it does not actually have a formal language specification — just extensive user documentation. But ...

Formal methods provide a rigorous mathematical foundation for the specification, development and verification of medical device software. This approach enhances both reliability and safety, which are ...
