A marriage of formal methods and LLMs seeks to harness the strengths of both.

Driven by the need to objectively measure the progress of their verification efforts and the contributions of different verification techniques, IC designers have adopted coverage as a metric. However ...

This integration addresses the fundamental barriers that have historically limited formal verification adoption: complexity ...

With innovations in technologies and methodology, the benefits of formal functional verification apply in many more areas. If we understand the characteristics of areas with high formal applicability, ...

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 ...

Specification quality is another key challenge. Formal verification depends on clear intent, yet specifications are often incomplete, ambiguous, or difficult to operationalize. AI can help extract ...

However, in this article, I will limit myself to the top five important factors to remember about formal verification. 1. There are many types of formal verification. All are useful. When I talk about ...

Current System-on-a-chip (SoC) designs contain increased levels of functional and structural complexities within a single system. With the integration of multiple designs, various clock domains are ...

Neel Somani has built a career that sits at the intersection of theory and practice. His work spans formal methods, mac ...

Broadly, formal verification is applied in the following areas, Equivalence Checking (RTL vs RTL, RTL vs netlist, netlist vs netlist etc.) Theorem Proving (Prove a user defined theorem) Model Checking ...
