Formal methods provide a rigorous mathematical foundation for the specification, development and verification of medical device software. This approach enhances both reliability and safety, which are ...

The EDA industry has a message for researchers in formal methods: There’s a right way and a wrong way, and if you don’t pick the right method, formal can be hard to crack. Pranav Ashar, CTO of Real ...

Safety and reliability have moved to the top of the list of critical criteria in software development. There are many ways to achieve improved safety and reliability, and one of the best is to employ ...

With 68% of the ASICs going through respins and 83% of the FPGA designs failing the first time around, verification poses interesting challenges. It’s also not a secret that nearly 60-70% of the cost ...

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 ...

Recent work directed by professors Ronghui Gu and Jason Nieh introduced a new tool, Spoq, that significantly reduces the complex efforts people must use to verify real-world software and makes it ...
