Why Determinism still matters in the age of AI Verification

Why Determinism still matters in the age of AI verification The semiconductor industry faces increasing pressure to accelerate verification cycles while maintaining functional correctness. Recent advances in large language models have sparked interest in AI-Generated Assertions for formal verification. However, AI-generated assertions introduce quality risks that can undermine verification reliability: they may drift semantically between …

Assertion-first hardware design: where properties and intent come first

Assertion-first hardware design: where properties and intent come first Compute is the bottleneck. Not ideas. Not talent. Compute. Every major leap we care about over the next decade, from AI to medicine to energy and mobility, depends on chips that deliver more performance with less power, on tighter schedules than ever. RTL can be produced …
