Formal verification is an automatic checking methodology that catches many common design errors and can uncover ambiguities in the design. Formal verification is the process of verifying the ...

With the increasing size and complexity of FPGA devices, there is a need for more efficient verification methods. Timing simulation can be the most revealing verification method; however, it is often ...

Achieving efficiency in integrated circuit (IC) design while maintaining design quality is not just a goal, but a necessity. Designers constantly strive to strike a balance between ever-tightening ...

More processors on SoCs means more sophisticated cache control. This article describes formal techniques for verifying cache coherency for the ARM AMBA AXI Coherency Extensions (ACE) protocol. Fig 1.
