The next-generation Cadence® JasperGold® Formal Verification Platform features machine learning technology and core formal technology enhancements across all JasperGold apps.
The new JasperGold platform represents the latest stage of ongoing proof-solver algorithm and orchestration improvements. This latest platform incorporates Smart Proof Technology to improve verification throughput for all JasperGold apps. Machine learning is used to select and parameterize solvers to enable faster first-time proofs. Additionally, machine learning is used to optimize successive runs for regression testing, either on premises or in the cloud. With Smart Proof Technology, proofs speed up on average by 2X out of the box and by 5X on regression runs.
Given today’s larger and more complex SoC designs, the design compilation process sets the maximum size of design, and the compute resources necessary, to start formal analysis. The updated JasperGold platform delivers more than 2X design compilation capacity with an average of 50% reduction in memory usage during compilation. Additionally, engineers can effectively scale design capacity through advanced parallel compilation technologies that optimally use available compute resources and run proofs in the cloud.
The platform’s new formal coverage technologies let engineers perform IP signoff purely within the JasperGold platform. These new formal signoff technologies include improved proof-core and checker coverage accuracy, new techniques to derive meaningful coverage from deep bug hunting and new formal coverage analysis views. Ease your debug and what-if analysis with the powerful JasperGold Visualize™ Interactive Debug Environment incorporating QuietTrace™ debugging capability. Together, those features deliver signoff-quality formal coverage metrics and enable multi-engine chip-level verification closure.
The JasperGold Formal Verification Platform, part of the Cadence Verification Suite, offers comprehensive coverage in vManager™ Verification Management, which combines JasperGold formal results with Xcelium™ Logic Simulation and Palladium® Emulation metrics to speed overall verification closure.

JasperGold Formal Verification Platform
As long-time customers of Incisive formal and simulation solutions, we are impressed with the next-generation JasperGold platform. As well as improved debug and ease-of-use, we’ve achieved a significant increase in performance compared to Incisive Enterprise Verifier, as measured by proof convergence in a given time.

"With the ability to find bugs weeks earlier in the design process, we’ve reduced late-stage RTL changes, which enables the team to save additional time when we get to the functional verification stage.”
Hobson Bullman Vice President and General Manager, Technology Services Group, ARM
“We’ve identified functional and structural CDC issues earlier in the RTL signoff phase using the JasperGold CDC App. Eliminating these bugs earlier in the process has increased the quality of our designs and saved us between two and four weeks on the design and verification time for each of our IP.”
David Vincenzoni Design Manager at STMicroelectronics
