What is JasperGold?

JasperGold, developed by Cadence Design Systems, is a formal verification platform used in hardware design and verification. It employs formal methods like static analysis and model checking to exhaustively verify the correctness of a hardware design. This helps find bugs early in the design cycle, reduces the need for extensive simulation, and improves the overall quality and reliability of the final product. It's commonly used to verify complex designs, including processors, memory controllers, and network devices, ensuring they meet their specifications and avoid functional errors.
