Adventures in Verification Land

Rolling the Dice and Spinning the Wheel

Take two steps forward and three steps back. Not all parts of our design process are created equal. In this week’s Fish Fry, we examine one of the most painful, frightening, and frustrating parts of our design process – verification. My first guest is Tom Anderson (Breker Verification Systems), and we chat about formal verification, what Breker’s new verification technology TrekSoC-Si is all about, and where you can the best vinyl in Silicon Valley. Then, continuing the formal V theme – we go to Vigyan Singhal, CEO of Oski Technology. Vigyan and I dive into the details of the “Decoding Formal Club.” The first rule of “Decoding Formal Club”?
