Formal verification for SystemC/C++ designs

Automated formal technologies can be used to ease the debug and functional verification burden of SystemC/C++ code prior to high-level synthesis. This tutorial, first presented at DVCon Europe explores how these formal techniques can be deployed and provides real-world examples.

Mentor Graphics/Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study

Smaller designs face greater risk of respins

Research study suggests the maturity of your verification flow determines the likelihood of first-pass success far more than the complexity inherent in design size.

Formal verification

As designs get larger and stress the ability of simulation to exercise an SoC, formal techniques have become essential parts of design and verification.

Verification coverage

Verification coverage attempts to at least provide a partial answer to the question: "How do you know you are finished verifying?" It involves the combination of a number of techniques.
