Making formal normal

We are always a foot away from an electronic chip. Whether it is a mobile phone, a laptop, a smartwatch, a car, or a plane – semiconductors are driving the world. Our reliance on electronic chips powered by semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) designs, and the underlying software has never been more profound.

From aerospace, healthcare, and automotive to intelligent AI/ML-powered consumer appliances and industrial process control systems powering up our electrical grids – IC designs are everywhere, and we cannot afford to have failures or defects in these. Whether it is the failure of Ariane 5 or Intel’s FDIV, or the meltdown and spectre security flaws, functional verification of ASICs and FPGAs based on dynamic simulation is struggling.

If you factor in requirements of functional safety and security, conventional simulation-based verification struggles to provide assurance. The only way to guarantee the absence of bugs is via a mathematical proof of correctness, possible only via formal methods.

At Axiomise, our vision is to make formal normal, and for the last seven years, we have been doing just that!

We have pioneered the adoption of formal verification in the semiconductor industry since 2017.  Led by our visionary CEO, Dr. Ashish Darbari, who has 67 patents in formal verification, and Neil Dunlop an industry veteran with 40 years of experience, Axiomise has helped twenty customers over the last seven years by providing them access to bleeding-edge formal verification methodology via its training programmes, consulting & services and vendor-neutral formal verification app for end-to-end verification of RISC-V processors.

We have made it easier for our customers to deploy formal methods on complex SoCs through our abstraction-driven methodologies and six-dimensional coverage solutions that can be used with any commercial formal verification tool. Axiomise experts can tackle the most challenging formal verification problems on RISC-V, Arm, or x86 processors, GPUs or video blocks, networking blocks including WiFi and 5G, AI/ML hardware, and NoC-based fabrics.

We have helped customers with the usual functional verification challenges but also on safety-critical and security verification tasks finding bugs in previously verified designs and establishing exhaustive proof of bug absence.

Axiomise was founded in 2017  by Dr. Ashish Darbari, who has spent over two decades in the industry and top research labs increasing formal verification adoption. At Axiomise, we believe the only way to make formal methods mainstream for all semiconductor design verification is to enable and empower the end-user of formal – the hundreds of designers and verification engineers in the semiconductor industry. Dr. Darbari was joined by Neil Dunlop in 2022. Between Neil and Ashish, the Axiomise leadership team brought over 60 years of formal verification experience on projects – not available anywhere in the world. Dr. Sadegh Dalvandi has 10 years of formal methods experience and he joined Axiomise in 2022 bringing in a rich portfolio of formal methoods research experience and led multiple major projects in Axiomise to deliver customer delight. 

In 2025, Bipul Talukdar joined Axiomise as Senior Director of Engineering bringing 25 years of rich industry experience in deploying formal, simulation and emulation. 

We enable formal verification adoption by simplifying the jargon and showing you on your projects how complex problems are easily solved through Axiomise’s abstraction-driven methodologies.  Talk to us and find out how our solutions are helping some of the top semiconductor design houses and how we can make formal normal for you and your team. We have helped scores of customers in the last seven years on projects and trained over 300 engineers across the industry, besides deploying our automated formal verification app called formalISA to find bugs and build proofs of bug absence.
