Everything you need to know to get started with formal

Kick-start scalable formal verification

Start your new year with the resolution of applying formal for pipe-cleaning your designs. Find your corner-case bugs and prove that your design works as intended using our industry-proven methodologies. This course is a comprehensive introduction in applied formal verification covering the entire verification flow including verification strategy, planning, execution and sign-off. We introduce the basics of theorem proving, equivalence checking and property checking and take you all the way to concepts of efficient assertion modelling, abstractions, helper properties, and principles of bug hunting and exhaustive proofs. Through case studies, we show you how we can verify designs with millions of flops exhaustively with formal.

Prices include VAT. We will provide the training material, stationery, and refreshments including tea/coffee, and lunch.

You do not need to be familiar with any formal tool.

The course is designed and delivered  by Dr Ashish Darbari a well-known expert with over 20 years of experience using formal methods. Dr Darbari has a Doctorate in formal verification from University of Oxford and has worked in numerous organisations such as Intel, ARM, Imagination Technologies, OneSpin Solutions and General Motors. He holds 14 US, UK and EU patents in the area of formal verification and has over 40 patents pending. An author of numerous papers, he is passionate about enabling people in the use of formal verification for large scale hardware verification and has been training colleagues in the industry as well as students in universities for the last decade. At Imagination, he trained nearly a 100 engineers and managers in the use of formal verification. At Axiomise, he has delivered training to numerous customers around the world including some of the biggest names in the semi-conductor industry.
