Who:

Real Intent, the leader in formal verification from spec to sign-off, invites the Design Automation Conference (DAC) attendees to its booth to learn more about its automatic formal, clock and timing verification software and the "Assertion Density Paradox."

What: Assertion Density Paradox

With most Assertion-Based Verification (ABV) solutions, if one assertion is hard to prove, then many assertions are even harder. However, with Real Intent's patented technology, the opposite can be true -- having many assertions can be easier to prove than just one.

When/Where:

Monday - Wednesday, July 24-26, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Thursday July 27, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Booth #706
Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco, CA

Designed with the most challenging ABV needs in mind, Conquest moves beyond block-level verification to cluster-level verification. The combination of the industry's most powerful formal Convergence Engine™ with an assertion visualization capability allows for more capacity and interactivity, and higher productivity than alternative solutions. With Conquest, users can verify their design using Property Specification Language (PSL) assertions, SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA), or Open Verification Library (OVL) checkers.

Ascent offers automatic checks derived from the Register Transfer Level (RTL) design to verify logic and find bugs even before simulation. It supports PSL and SVA constraints and includes the Ascent SimPortal, which links to dynamic simulation. Ascent with the Convergence Engine delivers higher performance and faster proofs. It is often used as a signoff step before the RTL code is checked into the design process. It finds sequential design errors, including array bounds violations, full and parallel case pragma violations, Finite State Machine (FSM) deadlocks and dead code. These errors are detected automatically without testbenches or running simulations.

Clock Intent Verification verifies the functionality of the user's cross domain clocking scheme and quickly identifies errors with its new debugging features.

PureTime, a timing-exception verifier, detects timing exception errors that create schedule delays, chip respins or failing hardware. It proves the correctness of timing exceptions created by designers, or those delivered with Intellectual Property (IP), using exhaustive formal analysis. PureTime works throughout the entire design flow, with RTL or design netlists.
