Embedded EdgeThe Art of Formal Verification – a chat with Ashish Darbari of AxiomiseIn this episode, we talk about formal verification (FV) with Dr Ashish Darbari, founder, and CEO of Axiomise. We talk about the role of FV in enabling designs to be shipped bug-free, how FV helps developers and where it fits in the design flow, whether it’s in embedded AI, IoT or high-performance computing (HPC). We also learn about Axiomise – from the company’s founding in 2017 to its impact in today’s embedded world.

Formal bytes: The Axiomise Podcast ChannelEpisode 37: A fireside chat with Harry FosterDr. Ashish Darbari delves into the findings of the 2020 Wilson Research report with Harry Foster in the last podcast this year. Together we gain more insight into design and verification trends. With 68% projects running behind schedule, and an equal number requiring respin for IC/ASIC, is the industry doing enough? With 23% of the semiconductor designs using RISC-V; and the headcount ratio of verification to design being 5:1 for processor verification, perhaps it's time to reflect and ask - are we doing enough?
With these thoughts, we sign-off 2020, wishing you all Happy holidays and merry Christmas.

Steve explains why he left a well-paid job at Intel to start Redwood EDA. Ashish asks Steve about why he has another language. The chat dives deep into Transactional Verilog (TL-Verilog), and why we should care about it? Steve explains how TL-Verilog will be a game-changer for RISC-V, formal methods, abstraction, UVM, tools, better debug, and open-source silicon efforts. Steve explains how his course is changing the way students learn digital design, computer architecture, and processor design. Do not forget to listen to Steve’s...

In this podcast, Dr. Ashish Darbari talks about an interesting way of using Axiomise ISA formal proof kit to find bugs in RISC-V cores. He describes how by using the combination of automated formal properties from the Axiomise proof kit together with constraints we can not only find bugs but also root-cause the precise nature of simulation resistant bugs. You might like this podcast if you ever wondered how constraints together with automated formal can be used to address the complex challenges of finding corner-case bugs...
