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 ...

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 ...

The appeal of a more rigorous development path for software design has long been obvious: As the software content and complexity of the average project grow, software verification and testing consumes ...

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 ...

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 ...

In recent years, many longstanding assumptions about formal verification have been rendered obsolete by ever-improving technology. Applications such as connectivity checking have shown that formal can ...

As a way to eliminate bugs in high-risk code, a style of software programming known as formal verification is making its way into the blockchain world. Put simply, formal verification uses math to ...

Automotive software has a vital role in the future of driving. Credit: via Shutterstock. Software is at the heart of modern mobility. From advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) to electric vehicle ...

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 ...
