Dr. Ashish Darbari min 1

Monday at DAC I was able to meet with Dr. Ashish Darbari, the CEO and founder of Axiomise. Ashish had a busy DAC, appearing as a panelist at,  “Those Darn Bugs! When Will They be Exterminated for Good?”; and then presenting,  “Taming the Beast: RISC-V Formal Verification Made Easy.”

I had read a bit about Axiomise… Read More

It has been an article of faith that you can’t use formal tools to validate datapath logic (math components). Formal is for control logic, not datapath, we now realize. We understood the reason – wide inputs (32-bit, 64-bit or more) fed through a multiplier deliver eye-watering state space sizes. State space explosions also happen… Read More

AI, Graphics, CPU, and many modern designs have arithmetic intensive blocks that are hard to verify with traditional techniques. Synopsys VC Formal DPV (Datapath Validation) has been the industry’s golden standard to get closure on datapath verification.

Is formal verification ready for general use or do you need a PhD to use it? Larger companies continue to recruit formal PhDs into their verification teams while other less-well-qualified engineers seem reluctant to go beyond simplified formal “apps”. So, what is the truth

Manish min

Manish Pandey, VP R&D and Fellow at Synopsys, gave the keynote this year. His thesis is that given the relentless growth of system complexity, now amplified by multi-chiplet systems, we must move the verification efficiency needle significantly. In this world we need more than incremental advances in performance. We need… Read More
