Formal verification is being deployed more often and in more places in chip designs as the number of possible interactions grows, and as those chips are used in more critical applications. In the past ...

The semiconductor industry stands at a critical juncture. First-time silicon success rates have reached all-time lows, while design complexity continues to grow exponentially. System-on-chip designs ...

How formal verification is able to find bugs before signoff. Formal verification’s ability to mathematically prove exhaustively that a chip design meets a set of assertions. Formal techniques are ...

Designers of essential space and defense systems increasingly look to formal verification to ensure reliability and security ...

In August 2023, the EEOC reached its first AI-bias settlement: $365,000 paid over a hiring algorithm that automatically rejected older applicants. Meanwhile, Europe’s new AI Act threatens fines of up ...

Formal verification is a process that mathematically proves the correctness of a system, ensuring it “behaves exactly as intended under all defined conditions.” the CertiK team notes in a blog post.

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 ...
