Decoding Formal @ DAC – Join Oski for Four Days of Formal Fun

Oski Decoding Formal Events are usually hosted at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View and have attracted lots of formal enthusiasts in the bay area. Deep formal talks from Oski, lectures given by formal experts from different companies, good networking, cool gifts and museum tours have become the signature of these events that formal engineers look forward to, every quarter.

To reach out to formal enthusiasts around the world and create a bigger event than usual, the 2015 Q2 Decoding Formal event will be hosted at DAC. Our theme is proving completeness of End-to-End Formal for Sign-off.

Join the “Break the Testbench” Challenge! In the spirit of past DAC challenge events, Oski is inviting engineers to “Break the Testbench” by inserting functional bugs in the RTL design and watch the End-to-End formal testbench catch it live, on the floor, proving that End-to-End formal is complete. Visit us at booth #1215 to see if you can “Break the Testbench”. The 2015 Challenge event is sponsored by Synopsys.

The daily Decoding Formal Lecture Series includes some incredible topics. You will have an opportunity to have conversations with the speakers, including customers and Oski staff. Pre-register now to be able to join us for lunch! Links are below. All lectures will be held at Oski booth 1215. Registration is requested.
