Jasper Design Automation, previously Tempus Fugit, has been a pioneer in the area of formal verification. Their JasperGold formal technology platform scales from formal assertion-based verification (ABV) to exhaustive end-to-end proofs of micro-architecture-level properties. The solution is composed of multiple proof engines, automated Formal Scoreboard, Proof Accelerators, and ProofGrid, that are used together to solve complex designs that include packet-based data transportation, FIFOs, memories, caches and multiple clock domains.
Behavioral Indexing is a technology associated with design comprehension. It enables users to iteratively extract, index and store relevant design behaviors, along with the RTL, in a dynamic, executable database.
Acquired by Cadence in 2014.
