This year’s Oski Deep Bound Track Hardware Model Checking Competition (HWMCC) was a thrillingly close contest that came down to just one benchmark design of more than 100 benchmarks. The winner was announced at the Hardware Model Checking Competition Report session of the annual Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design (FMCAD) Conference, held in Austin, Texas, on September 30, 2015. Winner Norbert Manthey of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence and a graduate of TU Dresden, Germany, took the prized first place from runners up Alberto Griggio, and Marco Roveri, researchers at Fondazione Bruno Kessler, and graduates of the University of Trento, Italy.

Thursday, October 29th, 2015Oski Innovation Enables Formal Sign-Off in 2013
Thursday, December 19th, 2013A busy year is drawing to a close for Oski Technology. Reflecting back on this year we are proud of what we have accomplished for our valued customers. Oski Formal Sign-off Methodology, incorporating End-to-End checkers, Abstraction Models and formal coverage – this is the boldest application of formal technology for RTL functional verification.
Gone are the days when formal can only be used to compliment simulation on a given block. Oski Formal Sign-off Methodology and formal verification can replace block-level simulation for suitable designs to improve overall verification coverage, efficiency and productivity. The logic is simple – control and data transport types of blocks and designs with complex corner scenarios are better suited to be verified with formal than simulation. We have applied such methodology to tapeout many of our customers’ mission-critical projects and at the same time develop formal expertise in our customer base.
Oski Technology: Bullish on Formal Verification
Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013Oski Technology may be named for the famous University of California at Berkeley’s bear mascot, but Oski is not bearish at all on the formal verification market. In fact, it’s downright bullish on this form of verification and its importance to chip design.
One recent morning, Vigyan Singhal, Oski’s president and CEO, was in the Mountain View, Calif., corporate headquarters ready to discuss his life in formal verification and what inspires him and the company he founded. (more…)
