Sunnyvale, Calif., USA, September 28, 2016 – Dr. Pranav Ashar, Chief Technology Officer for Real Intent, Inc., will present a tutorial, “A Paradigm Shift in Verification Methodology,” at the Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design (FMCAD) 2016 Conference to be held in Mountain View, California October 3-6. Real Intent is a market leader in static verification-based solutions for advanced functional verification and design signoff for SoCs and FPGAs.
What:
Tutorial Abstract: “A Paradigm Shift in Verification Methodology”
Today’s SoCs are driving unprecedented verification complexity. The combination of billions of gates, system-level functionality on a chip, complex design methodologies like asynchronous clock domains and an explosion of untimed paths on a chip, interacting dynamic power domains, aggressive reset schemes etcetera could have been the perfect storm to staunch productivity. Instead it has turned out to be the mother of all necessities that has driven significant innovation in verification and brought about a paradigm shift. Static sign-off has proven to be a pillar in this new paradigm. The tutorial will discuss the template for what has made static techniques successful in verifying modern SoCs.
When/Where:
FMCAD 2016 will be held at Synopsys, Building B
