Formal verification methods are being adopted at a fast pace as a complement to traditional verification methods like functional simulation for IP blocks in SoC designs. I had a video meeting with Max Birtel, co-founder of LUBIS EDA and learned more about their history, products and vision. This company started recently in 2020… Read More
A growing trend in system design is the use of multiple ICs mounted in advanced packages, especially in high-performance computing and AI. These modern packages now integrate multiple ICs, often with high-bandwidth memory (HBM), resulting in hundreds of thousands of connections that need proper verification. Traditional… Read More

A high-quality verification campaign including methods able to absolutely prove the correctness of critical design behaviors as a complement to mainstream dynamic verification? At first glance this should be a no-brainer. Formal verification offers that option and formal adoption has been growing steadily, now used in around… Read More
If the recent RISC-V Summit proved one thing it’s that open-source hardware design, and particularly the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) has entered the mainstream. It is a design methodology and architecture to watch closely. Across a broad range of applications from data center, to automotive, to IoT, RISC-V processors… Read More
The flexibility of RISC-V processor IP allows much freedom to meet specific requirements – but it also opens the potential for many bugs created during the design process. Advanced processor features are especially prone to errors, increasing the difficulty and time needed for thorough verification. Born out of necessity, … Read More

The dream of 100% confidence is compelling for silicon engineers. We all want that big red button to push that magically finds all of our bugs for us. Verification, after all, accounts for roughly two-thirds of logic design effort. Without that button, we have to create reference models,… Read More
Dynamic event-based simulation of RTL models has traditionally been the workhorse verification methodology. A team of verification engineers interprets the architectural specification to write testbenches for various elements of the design hierarchy. Test environments at lower levels are typically exercised then … Read More
